Hey there, another new guy in the ranks here! My name's Gabe and I'm a military modeler that is coming out of retirement. I modeled often as a teenager and then actively while in the Army. It's been about eight years since I last did any modeling and I'm back in it to stay. My focus is primarily WWII armor and my goal is to actually finish a diorama project.
This site is SWEET. It's good to know that there are others out there not unlike myself! I've never really talked to another person who modeled and most of my experience is through trial & error as well as reading books and mags. I'm really looking forward to interacting with the folks on this site. I have a few posts out there already and I'm very excited about the responses. I'm glad to be a part of it!
