Hello everyone.
I too did not see this forum before, but thought I would introduce myself anyway.

My name is Dave Selim, I'm a computer network administrator by trade. I've returned to military modeling as a hobby after a multi-year absence. My main interests are World War II subjects, primarily because my father is veteran who fought in France/GermanyLuxembourg/Belgium as a rifleman with the 87th Infantry, US Army. I primarily build (ok, mostly collect unbuilt kits) of Commonwealth and US armor, trucks, artillery, and figures in 1/35th scale and also night fighter and ground attack aircraft of all WWII nations in 1/48th scale. I will actually start building again as soon as I can get to my workbench (which is blocked in due to a recently finished home remodeling project).
In addition to modeling, I also custom build/tinker with computers, read history and fantasy/science fiction books, collect and watch WWII movies, and dabble with model trains. No wonder I never have time to build!
I would like to say I've learned a lot during my lurking time here on Armorama, I'm very glad I found the site and became a member. Hopefully I will someday have something to contribute.
Cheers!
Dave

Welcome aboard Dave,
I'm a recent recruit too and have been made to feel right at home by the guys of Armorama.
Good luck with your return to the art.
Cheers

Thank all of you for the warm wishes!
I've already found so much good information - may it always keep coming.
And I will submit some of my work once I actually get working on something. Which will be soon.
As for the question:

Does this mean you'll be available with all our computer questions?


Sure will! Even if I cannot answer any modelling questions right now, I can (attempt to)answer computer questions. Of course, as in life, there are no guarantees :-)
