Hello,

Happy to found a forum for these nice planes, I started building these planes when WNW started and I was retired 2 years ago after 40 years working on aircraft with an aspirator (jet engine) I hope to built a lot of these models.

I'm very happy to to have found this website.  It's top notch articles and information is inspiring.  I am looking forward to learning as much as I can.   I have a number of kits from the "Great War" that I now look forward to doing.

Thanks and very good luck,
Steve

I checked all of the posts to make sure I had not introduced myself previously. I think my memory isn't what it used to be, but I'm not sure.

I got hooked on WWI models as a kid in the 1950s. Went on to other modeling subjects, then the Navy, marriage, jobs and kids took over. About fifteen years ago I googled scale modeling on a whim, and that, as they say, was that.

I've been a deep water sailor, wood cutter, stage production and sound lackey, old-school programmer, engineer, anthropologist, climber, and book addict, and author. Among other things not to be mentioned here.

I used to compete, mainly in California. I enjoy it because it improves my skills and teaches me that judging is subjective and not to be taken seriously. I have also judged a number of IPMS USA show competitions. I help out the IPMS National organization by reviewing models, books and related modeling do-dads from time to time.

I am reducing my little stash now, focusing on Wingnut Wings kits, a few select ship kits, especially American Civil War ironclads and submarines, and a Caldercraft wood model from Nelson's Navy. I have a very few "special" kits I am keeping that aren't WWI or Civil War but my goal is to get all of the Wingnuts Wings kits that interest me, and build them slowly with each one a bit better than the last.

I intend to bracket my Wingnuts Wings collection with the Fokkers: EI, EIII, E IV; D.VII (Fok), (Alb), (OAW) and F. And, of course, some other aircraft in between.

I am very glad to have found this forum. I was about to give up on the others I have visited from time to time. I see that it is informative, courteous and fun.

Welcome to the forum again eindecker, you did previously introduce yourself but it was a while ago, easy to forget, here is the link to your first post;

http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=856.0

I hope since the time of your first introduction you have met a lot of friends and picked up a few hints and tips, looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Great to be back and indeed nice to meet old friends from the GWA forum (and before..). Apologies for not dropping in earlier but there 're reasons.

Des, thanks so much!

Take care

Hello Des

I found you courtesy of Ray via Windsock. Happy to be here. So much to learn, but wonderful to have enough time at last, even with just one pair of hands.
