Hi from West Melbourne, Florida
« on: June 27, 2013, 09:31:28 PM »
HI:

I'm Carl Weaver and with the exception of a 18 year hiatus I've been modeleing since I was 10 years old. I have done everything but ships and figures and I picked up WWI aviation around three years ago when Wingnut Wings came out and I saw a build that Des did back on that website that shall rename nameless. WWI aircraft have really grabbed my attention and I don't think I would have found them if it wasn't for Wingnut Wings; thank you Sir Jackson.

I moved onto the Great War Aviation Forum after the other website and I see a lot of people from that forum here as well; so I don't feel like I am cheating. :) I feel like I have expanded my horizons.

I am getting back in the groove after some personal losses at the end of last year and I hope that my modeling mojo comes back or my wife is going to kill me about all the stuff I have collected.

Thank you and right now I'll just be lurking and hopefully I can post something soon.

Thanx,
Carl

Hello Carl and welcome to the forum, it is so nice to see you here. I remember you from other forums and I look forward to your participation with this great forum. I'm sorry to hear that you went through some tough times last year but hopefully you will rebound and get back into modeling again, looking forward to seeing your first build posts here soon.
