Olá from Portugal
« on: June 14, 2013, 09:33:12 AM »
Hello all.
My name is Paulo Cruz (aka Zabu) and i've been modeling for... well... since i can remember!
Started buiding ww1 models and i became addicted to them. Finding this forum was a very nice surprise (since theaerodrome closed modelers thread).

I guess that i'm a braille (1/72) modeler for your standard, with so many 1/48 and 1/32 builds in the hands of so many skilled people.

I build my models in the few time that i have left... wich makes me kinda slow... and i build them because of the joy and the tranquility i get from them. Just me... my plastic (or whatever), my glues, my paints and some great time.

I only have 7 or 8 build models, but i have a drawer (a big one!) full of ww1 models willing to come out! And they will!

Cheers
