Hi, my name is Lena and I am (un)fortunate enough to be Betheyn's girlie and Yoghurt's mother. I don't do much modelling, but when i do, I like doing mainly figures (which I start and then leave unfinished in a box somewhere) Looking at some of the incredible work on this site has inspired me to finish them. (if I can get some desk time, we are on a three way time share) So hello to everyone
Lena x
P.s I'm also going to check out the ladies forum. :-)8
Edit, Help!!!I can't get into it!!!! I'm not a member!!!!
I may not always be right,but I am never wrong!
So much to do,so few people to do it for me...

Welcome aboard Lena.
Looking forward to seeing some of your finished figures. (I also have a box full of somewhat finished ones..... !!!!)

Hi Lena.. Welcome to the site.. if you want more desk time, just pass something to eat by the boys, that should clear the desk for you.. *L* As for the Ladies forum, PM Tankysgal and let her know.. staff_jim has to approve you personally.. Look forward to seeing some of your work...

Hi Lena, and welcome. We already have a few very good lady modellers here so you'll be made most welcome.
Wish I could get my good lady to try modelling! I'm still at the "not another one, where do you think you're going to put that, haven't you got three of them already" stage!!
Get a bit more leeway now I've switched back to figures, andat least she can tell a Sherman from a Tiger.
