hello
My name is Shawn Watson. I've been modeling for about 10 years, usually cars, just started modeling military subjects, my first one was a Abrahms M1a1, and after I finished I was hooked on military Models. I am now working on a F-16c Hornet.

Welcome on board my lad
This is definitely the place to come with all your questions about modeling. Why you ask???
We have 2400+ members that are sharing what they know and you only have to ask because the answers will find you without a problem.
And keep in mind that there is no such thing as a stupid question and..... if there is a stupid question then it`s the one that isn`t asked
I hope you have fun pop into the chat now and then ...... oh and another thing we love... no better............ we are addicted to pics so if you want to share pics you can do that on Armorama @ MSN (really good service)
Hope you have the same fun that I always have when coming to this site then Everything will be more then ok

Shawn, welcome to Armorama. Any questions, just ask.
Now I have a question for you. Where in OK do you live? I grew up in Ardmore, OK (100 miles due south of OKC) but now live in Virginia Beach.

Welcome aboard. I'm not too far away, I live in Arkansas.

I got some family that live in "Native America". Some were forced there over a hundred years ago

I've been there and it's really a great place. Great to have on aboard the board

Welcome to Armorama Shawn
Hang around here long enough and you will be really hooked on military.

Shawn,
Welcome to the site. You're lucky to be so close to the Nationals this year. Are you going?
Tin_Can and I were there last year as he lived up the street practically and I was only 3 hrs away. Now I am in California though. I doubt I can make it to OKC but next year is Pheonix. Much closer.
Cheers,
Jim
