Good evening, everyone, I found that forum after looking around in the net. After some busy years with a family of five (mom&dad&3kids) I have now a bit more time to return to my hobby I abandoned some 25+ years ago. I had a big collection of WWII kits and also some modern ones, the F 16 and a MIG had been the last kits I assembled. All of them had been lost over the last 25+ years.

I am currently posted to Chicago, therefore it says Vienna, Austria, in my profile, as I will return to Austria sometime in the future.

A few days ago I went into a hobby shop and just got a German Kuebelwagen and a Willy's Jeep to restart all the glueing and painting again by assembling rather small vehicles. There is no special focus on any kind of vehicle or country or period - as soon as a kit seems to be interesting I will try to make the best of it.

Have a good one
Michael

Nice to have you back Mike , this is a great place for information and inspiration That might sound corny but it's true Looking forward to seeing your work Bob

Welcome to Armorama Michael. If it's the Tamiya jeep then that's a great kit to start with. The level of detail and addons for kits has changed radically in 25 years so be prepared for some pleasant surprises.

Welcome to what I hope with time you feel is home.

Thank you all for the warm welcome and first comments - I will try to do my best in contributing to the forum and sometimes to one of the campaigns.

Best regards
Michael

Hello everyone,

due to a lot of work at the office and at home I could not even finish my Jeep by now. I hope to cut out some time over the next few days.

Best wishes and a Happy New Year 2010
