Hello, Candice and welcome!
I remember my dear friend, Andrei Koribanics speaking really highly of your work and, from what Bud has posted, I can see why his praise was, as always, accurate and well deserved.
I've only been among this crowd for a few months and can attest to the facts that it is a highly knowledgeable, inspirational and encouraging, and mostly, NICE gang. No trolls here (well, maybe aesthetically but thankfully we can't really see each other.)
So get set up and rip into a kit!
Cheers from NYC,
Michael
PS And for you guys who keep hailing us all by saying, "hi guys", please realize that Miss Terri now has a sister modeler on board...this is why we who were lucky enough to be born in the South say, "hi y'all"...we cover everyone graciously and regardless of gender.
