Greetings from Connecticut
Posted: October 12th, 2017, 1:00 pm
Greetings everyone! My screen name is pmmaker (plastic model maker) and I hail from northern Connecticut in a small town (Somers) near the Massachusetts border. For the past few years I have been an active member on several die-cast forums, but this will be my first experience on a dedicated plastic kit based forum. I'm happy to be here and I hope to be an active member.
I have been building plastic kits for most of my 59 years. I started when I was 8, took a needed break in the late 80s and 90s, and rediscovered the joy of building in 2009. I've built planes, spacecraft, ships, and armour. Today my area of focus is aviation from WWI up to the end of WWII. I build only in 72nd scale except for my WWI kits which do go into 48th scale. I also dabble in building (and rigging) wind-driven sailing ships.
I consider myself a recreational builder who builds for fun rather than total accuracy and professional quality. Therefore, I tend to buy (and build) old and new kits from Airfix, Revell (both classic US and the new German kits), Hasegawa, Tamiya, Frog, SMER, Novo and Monogram. I occasionally get a more obscure kit if the mood strikes me - I've got a LS Nell bomber in the pipeline.
I'll be scouring the forum for a few weeks and when I'm comfortable, I'll share some of my builds. Until then, best wishes to all.
