Hello from Seattle...
« on: February 17, 2017, 01:13:42 PM »
Long time modeler but new to WWI era. Can't explain it but enjoyed re-watching 'Flyboys' a month ago, re-watched 'The Blue Max' a coupe of weeks ago. Just finished watching 'Zeppelin' a few days ago. So here I am ready to learn what I can and get after a few 1/32 kits!

P. S. a Zeppelin in 1/32 would of course be a brave project to start with  ;)
