Hello from Paris
« on: April 24, 2012, 10:18:33 PM »
I'm a Canadian expat who's been living in Paris for the better part of 20 years.  My interest in WWI models was prompted by WNW's extraordinary range of kits (I know, I know, not terribly original..), of which I already have a sizeable stash.  Haven't got round to starting one yet, but when I do, I shall blindly and unquestioningly follow every step of Des' tutorials and be very happy if the results come up a fraction as good.

Welcome aboard Jean. Dig into one of the WnW kits as soon as you can. You won't be disappointed. I found their Sopwith Pup was a good choice for my first build as it's pretty straightforward and forgiving in nature.

Cheers,

Chris

   Jean,
Welcome aboard my friend. I'm glad you've landed here safe and sound. You may not remember me from LPS but I do remember you and your works there. As to following Des's tutorials I believe you can't do better than that,and there' plently other highly skilled and talented modelers who would gladly help you as well. So Jean pull up a seat and enjoy and I'm very much looking forward to seeing the first in progress on your WNW project my friend.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette
