Hello all!
I'm Giacomo, 23, from Rome, Italy.
I am a student of Economics and I will take my degree in October or November. Besides being a modeller, I love English music and speaking English in general (music helped me a lot in reaching a good level), and I'm fond of architecture, travelling and... flying!!!
My modelling career started when I was just six, after paying a visit to a family friend. After just two weeks from that day, I went to the Italian Air Force Museum and got my first ever kit, Italeri's Tornado IDS in 1:72!
My father built it, as well as many other kits... so I started modelling on my own after a bit of time!
I built lots of aircrafts, but none of them survived. I also made some cars and stopped in 1998. In 2005 I restarted after having looked at some magazines, so I bought a MiG-21 in Prague, but I've never finished it, so I passed to AFVs, which are very interesting.
Anyway, I've never given up with aircrafts, so I have on my shelf a Mustang and two airliners, a 737 and an A321. The Mustang is the first in my building list, and I hope I'll be able to do a good work and show you the result!
See you on the board!

Welcome aboard Giacomo,

Yours must be one of the latest 'introduction' posts to date. seeing as you have been here since January 2006 and after 700+ posts

Cheers
Henk
