Hello, although I've just registered I've been reading this forum for quite a while. When I finally decided to join I couldn't, there was some sort of error whenever I did try. But here I am, I love 1/18 and 1/32 scale, I'm a military buff, I love anything to do with WWII, I love the weapons, the armor, the planes, everything. I love the planes the most, although I have trouble remembering which plane is which. My hubby tries to help me but I'm a slow learner. :( Hopefully I can educate myself by conversing on this forum. I also love how clean this forum is, aferg runs a tight ship but it's comforting to know I won't be bashed for anything I say, as long as I don't bash. :D And I'm not a basher. Thanks!!

To all our recent new members: welcome aboard! From my own experience, I can honestly say you won't find a better crew on the net. I don't think I have ever seen a tighter and stronger on-line community!

The fact that you are all so close is what appealed to me to finally join. I don't know if any of you have been to imdb.com, but they also have forums for movies. I love movies, so I read those too, but I will never post there because they are so vicious and hateful. I don't go on forums to be called stupid or ignorant just because I like or don't like something. So I'll just stick with you guys. :D

Hi Guys iam new here have been visiting this site for a while now and love it as you can see i live in Oz and picked up a couple of 21st Century 1/18 scale Aircraft and love them,But as you can immagine they are a bit scarse out here and when you do get them they are quiet expensive. I have also seen that there is a Dauntless and a Hellcat on the way in 1/18 Great site keep it up :D

I should have introduced myself a bit sooner. I'm live and work in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada but I've only lived here for a year. Before that, I lived in the London, Ontario area and I'm much more accustomed to the quieter country life. I'm all for multi-culturalism and big city life, though, and I've adjusted rather well. I live with my fiancee and plan on getting married in July 2008. We've only just moved into a much bigger apartment down the street from our old one and are currently in the middle of setting it up. We have a dining room table & chairs for the first time... not to mention an actual dining room! :)

I've been collecting 1:32 and 1:72 diecast tanks, diecast planes and pro-built models for the past few months but I've been interested in WW2 war machines since I was a kid.

Hi, folks. I found this forum while doing an Internet search for Bf-109 model info. I had no idea that good quality pre-built and pre-painted models existed until I saw it here. Yeah, building them yourself gives better results and a certain amount of satisfaction, but anymore, I just don't have the time.

My interest is in WWII aircraft and so far I've collected 7 1/32 scale and 14 1/144 scale 21st Century planes. I'm a PC Technician for a large manufacturing firm and an Instrument rated Private Pilot. In my spare time, I like to play guitar, study the German languange, and listen to classical music while I clean my assault rifle.

Thanks!
Mike

My introduction to the forum

Post by General Blasto » Wed Sep 19, 2007 3:32 am

A little about myself ...
I found this forum thru a link from a new friend in this hobby and decieded to check it out. Great forum for military modeling, I love it 8) I started military modeling about 6-7 months ago after doing a couple custom figures to use in a video clip. Then I started getting more troops, then tanks and so on. I used to be in the G scale or garden railway hobby for the past 10 years until the place that I live at made me take down my layout out in the backyard :( So instead of going insane, I picked up the 1:18th scale military modeling to keep my mind going and keep my kitbashing/scratch building skills sharp. As of lately, I've been starting to do custom vehicles and tanks. I will post some pictures in the appropriate thread to this :wink: I model the WWII Euro theather and the ranks of men and tanks continues to grow. I think I counted like about 40 or 50 tanks that I've accumulated now :shock: But some of these will be hitting the chopping block to become models that are not made yet. I've seen some of the work that some have done here and I am impressed. I hope my skills add up to the quality being made here. Well, that's about it. Just another wild and crazy collector, craftsman and modeling buff. I hope I fit in with the group. So now I'm off to post a sample of my work in the custom thread. Thanks for having me :D General Blasto

Pavehawk checking in

Post by pavehawk » Wed Dec 05, 2007 3:06 pm

So after lurking here for quite a while, I have at last been able to activate my account and join.

Real quick, my name is Phil, I'm a computer programmer in my mid 30s, I live in southern CT, and my main area of interest is modern era 1/18 stuff.

I'm actually pretty new to this hobby, I got into it because my father in law got me a 21st Chinese MiG-17 for my birthday last year, and I was so impressed by the detail that I decided I had to get more of these things. My collection really started when I put together a nice Little Bird / Night Stalkers / Delta Force team, and things have just kind of grown from there.

Hey Pavehawk. I'm a NightStalker at Ft. Campbell. Been lurking here for months trying to get in with zero luck... today was my lucky day.

I'm a big model collector/builder and costumer (501st). I'm a Chinook guy with the 160th Special Ops.

I can't wait to share my collection and talk shop with you guys.

Whew, since September, I've been following every single post, and now, I can finally join in the fun? Ha, I think it was worth the wait.

I'm Stephen, I'm from Houston, Texas. I work in seafood at HEB and I love my 1:32, as well as a few 1:18. I 24-26 1:32 aircraft and about 8 1:32 armor pieces, and the CAF Tiger Meet F-104, The Huff F-86 and the Russian Mig-15bis. I have a small collection of 1:18 figures and I have already done a single head swap with only 7 figures. :D

I have a love for aircraft and history in general.
