Howdy, all. Just wanted to let all and sundry know that I really appreciate the wonderful work that is displayed on the site...it really provides inspiration!

Been modelling since I was a kid...about 4th or 5th grade. I remember when Tamiya first came out in the market; their wired R/C 1/35th scale tanks cost somewhere between 9 and 15 bucks! A company called Aurora even made a number of AFV kits.

Anyway, there was many years I didn't do much modelling...or was working on a single project that took a lot of time. I particularly like building sailing ships...because of the amount of rigging involved, and time and patience it takes to do it. But I am also totally enamored of armored vehicles, particularly WW 2 German stuff...it's just awesome!

Well, thanks for reading this, and I hope I can post more in the future!

Welcome on board the bes site around (at least in this galaxy...). I'm sure that you'll have fun in this cage of fools an lot of good advise.
Ciao from Italy

Where in Virginia are you at? There are many of us here on Armorama that are in VA. I live in Virginia Beach.

Did somebody say "Aurora"?


Remember back in the day when these kits were in the dollar and change range? I loved those kits and used to "play " with them in the sand box or on the carpet when I was finished building them. First kits I attempted to paint, not very well mind you.

Welcome to Armorama pzkw

welcome to Armorama..glad you joined us.

Well, thanks everyone, for your kind words. For those who asked, I live in Northern Virginia - Centreville, to be exact. I'm originally from Ohio (A Yankee in the Rebel's court!)

Hopefully, in the relatively near future, I can upload a hodge-podge of photos of some of the models I've got around the house...I'm currently in the process of finishing up an M8 Cargo tractor of the US army...the kit was a cast-away from one of my work colleagues. In the interim, I've also bought 2, 1/72d scale Tiger I tanks...just something to keep my hands occupied, I guess. Big future plans is to buy 5 or 6 PzKW II models, the Tamiya Military Miniature series, and have myself a little DAK "platoon"...of course, that's after I pay the mortgage!!

Chat with y'all later

Hey there PZKW. Spent four years in your state at that funny little school in Lexington. Things sure have changed a lot since then. I built 700 scale ships back then and you could buy the BB's and AC's for 4 bucks back then. I too remember the early Tamiya every tank motorized kits. Thank God things have changed so much since then.

Hello and welcome from the left coast (Washington State)! Happy to have you around.

Welcome to the site pzkw... I also live in Virginia. There are quite a few Virginians here....

Tankshack, whereabouts in C-ville? I live 1 miles from the Multiplex there on Rt. 28

Lady Modelbuilder, out of curiosity, about how long does it take for you to finish your models? I really like your model of the Titantic...there was an exhibition last September at the Nat'l Georgraphic museum in DC, showcasing ship models (professionally built). The Titantic was in a room by itself; I'd have to guesstimate its length at better than 12 feet. I took several photos of it with my camera, but I couldn't get the whole model into a single frame, to capture the enormity of the model.
