Hi Bruce,
welcome to the right place, where people are polite, friendly, helpful.
I also have a very peculiar sense of humour and sometimes become a nuisance though not by intention, i.e. had you declared being a girl, you would have 13 welcome answers by now and some 243 views.....
Welcome from Greece,

Bruce,
to see pictures of some models and mygoodself, you just take your cursor on the label "Photos" in any of my notes to you and you will see,,,
My friends call me just George since they are all of similar age if not older (I'm 66 ). I never drink alcohol but malt - once a month maybe - and almost shot my wife when she added a cube of ice...
I love guns, cats and women (I used to love guns women and cats) I have a machine workshop in house and have done everything in modeling from making my own radio equipment to my first diesel engine plastic kits, flying models and enjoyed every second of it. I also collect old American pocket watches and had a large collection of cartridges but the police separated us...
Be happy on your mountain,
George

Hi Bruce,
regarding the scale, I am doing worse than you since I am drawing a 1/10 approx. FlaK 88 scratch built from metal.
I also was a bachelor untill around my 40's,,,
If you wish to load some pictures, you simply press your "photo" button and a new menu opens wich on the top right has a button labeled "upload". If you press it another menu opens with "browse" button and from this, you can go into the proper file in your computer and upload the relevant picture.
Been flattered by the just George,
George from Patras

Hi Bruce, of course no offense whatever.
besides, we have both stated an extraordinary sense of humour haven;t we?
I just wait to see pictures of your work and hope you are comfortable on that side of the Atlantic.
Till then,
your 66 years old Greek pal,
George.
PS Pleas don't take too long with the pics since I am a heavy smoker...

Hi Bruce,
glad to hear from you. My plans for the FlaK 88 are for complete scratch built model (yes, firing a 4mm scaled down subcaliber shell).
I am still on the drafting stage but almost there.
Though I intend to make a scaled down model, I will deviate from the original in some very obvious ways, one being the use of servo motors for both elevation and azimuth and the second the use of a laser pointer inside the sight since God Almighty did not oblige by making 1/10 live German soldiers to look through it...

Welcome. You will find there are a lot of knowledgable, experienced modelerrs on this site that will be able to help you with just about any questions you may have.
Rule 1. Have fun.
Rule 2. Ask for help whenever you need it.
Rule 3. Don't be scared to take your modeling to the next level.
Check out the campaigns when you have a chance. They are a lot of fun when you find one you like.
