tally ho!
« on: May 13, 2013, 07:31:56 PM »
hi all,

my name is paolo, writing from italy. 48, reborn at modelling after a loooooong iatus. I love soft skins, tanks, miniatures... and airplanes. those last at the end of the list due to lack of space (I like the big scale, /32) and a sort of idiosyncrasy, working with them in the real life.

the WWI side of the lot was out of my mind due to fear of fragile structures and rigging madness, but having seen the wingnut wings products made me close the eyes and jump into. what a right decision!

so, actually I'm a rookie, at least in this specific branch, since I've just a DH 2 under my belt, but the fire has started, and here I am to share and above all learn with and thank to you.

I join this site thanks to bob buckles, who signalled me... thanks again, bob!

last little thing: my english is "as is" and often I write it as I speak it... awfully! so be patient with that, please. I apologize since now for all the havocs I'll do to your language!

well, see you asap on these pages with some styrene and glue, bye,
p.

Hi Paolo!
 Welcome to the forum  ;)

Your English is far better than my Italian, so worry not!

Please share the pictures of your DH.2 on here. The lads would love to see them.

Oh, your order shipped out this morning  ;D

Many thanks,
Von Buckle

Welcome to the forum, Paolo.  It's great to have you aboard.  As Bob said, your English is far better than my Italian, so have no fear.  I look forward to seeing that DH2 and all your future projects.
Cheers,
Bud

Ciao Paolo!
I had not been so active in the forum lately so I didn't realize there was another Italian on board.
A Neapolitan moreover, from our ancient Capital! (I am from Bari, capisc'a mmè!)
Good, I had a look at your Albie and it's super!

Have a beautiful stay in the forum
