Good evening all,

Just wanted to say how happy I am to join  your forum. I've been a military modeller tragic most of my life (since the age of 10) but have mainly stayed in the figure and armour arenas. I stumbled across this website and Wingnut Wings recently and am in awe as a whole new world has been opened to me much to my wife's despair.

So by way of introduction my background is in the health sector (nursing) after spending the better part of 20yrs in Australian Defence Force, and am currently residing in "god's country" the south coast of NSW Australia after moving up from Victoria.

So in moving forward I have marked the 8/10/16 as commencing my very first kit in this arena. Hope to learn a lot from you guys.

Cheers,

Medic  ::)

Welcome aboard, Medic!  Looking forward to seeing your first WWI aircraft project soon.  With your background in armour and figures, this should be an easy transition for you.  Many of the techniques are transferable.
Cheers,
Bud

Welcome to the best Modeling Forum on the Net! Like Bud said I am sure you will find the Transition from Armor and figures easy enough. As a matter of act there are a multitude of great WW1 Aviation figures available from Aviattic, Model Cellar and others!
