Hello-
I just joined in a day or so ago.  I posted a few pictures in the figure section.  I am primarily a figure modeler.  I have done a little bit of WW1 stuff.  I really enjoy the period, I just wish I had more time to build some aircraft.  I really fell in love with Kreston Peckham's  and Dave Peshke's work- they do wonderful stuff with aircraft and figures. If you have been to figure shows in the US, you would recognize their names. 

Here is the thread I entered:  http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=2962.0

Welcome aboard, Matt!  Just took a peek at your work and it is truly extraordinary.  I hope to see more WWI dios from you.
Cheers,
Bud

Hello Matt and welcome to the forum, it is so nice to see you here. I saw you figure a day ago and was really impressed with your figure painting skills, I hope to see more of your work and maybe you could give a few hints on how you do your figure painting. I also hope that you get around to building some aircraft models as well, we would all love to see your builds.

Welcome Matt

The photos from your first posting actually opened for me when I followed the new link and I just saw your diorama - holy moly! Brillent stuff - I really love it.  That's two wonderful and evocative WW1 aircraft dioramas I've seen this week!!!
