Hello everyone. Like the thread title says, I've been lurking around here for quite a while, about 8-9 months. Finally decided to register and post!

I used to be a regular on www.wwiiscalemodels.com until the domain expired and was never renewed. So I guess this will be my new home. Been modelling since 1981, quit during high school and college, picked it back up again 3 years ago, and here I am.

Heres a few random pix of some past builds...maybe someone will recognize me from the wwiiscalemodels site?

Great stuff there, Ken. Didn't know the 'Dead Trousers' were popular in Texas! Or did you live in Germany at some point?

Wow, thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

I use MIG pigments exclusively, you'll see them in the background of many of my in-progress photos. If you could see how many little bottles of the stuff I have, you'd think I own the place! :-)

To PolarBear: I actually started out building 1:48 aircraft a few years ago when I picked modeling back up. But after a few builds I lost interest and tried my hand at armor since it was my favorite as a child. I don't plan on ever building aircraft again.

To spooky6: Ha! Good to see someone knew where that name comes from! Never lived in Germany but have about half a dozen relatives that did at some point. I'll usually have totenhosen or rammstein playing in the background while I'm building.

Thanks again for the compliments everyone!
