Hello from Columbus, Ohio
« on: April 26, 2012, 11:02:19 AM »
Hello, I am Mike, currently living in Columbus, Ohio. I am a retired Army E7 and an absolute WWI aircraft nut. I build in all scales and have waaaaay to many kits in my stash. I'm mostly a lurker and have been to all the other sites. This one looks very promising and more modeling oriented. Thanks Des for starting it up.

Welcome aboard, Mike.  Great to have you join us.  I look forward to seeing your projects.  Ain't retirement grand?
Cheers,

I'm glad to see you land here Mike. I lurk on AFV modeling sites along with Hyperscale, but in the last year, I've found that the WWI modeling crowd is the friendliest of all. Hopefully you'll feel at ease here too.

Cheers,

Chris

Welcome Mike! I too come from Columbus Ohio. Imagine you go to Hobbyland? Do you go to the Dawn Patrol event in Dayton?

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Yes I think this is going to be a great place. Bud, retirement is GREAT although I work another job it's nice to know I can go when I want. Sean - The Hobbyland folks are good people and yes I go to the Dawn Patrol, except I totally missed the last one  :'(
