Hello from Illinois
« on: September 02, 2012, 08:25:52 AM »
Hello!  My name is Brae, and I build 1:12 scale dollhouses as a main hobby.  I belong to a forum that holds a kit build contest every year.  We all build the same kit and can do whatever we want with that kit.

This year, my idea called for a WWI airplane replica, and I chose the 1:32 scale Academy Sopwith Camel.  I have some experience building model cars from twenty-some years ago, but this was my maiden voyage into airplanes and rigging!  I found this website and a few other forums out there that helped me immensely with the build, so I want to offer a huge thank you!!!

I can't reveal the entire scope of my project since I haven't shown the final build yet.  It's done and the deadline is Sept 3, so the big reveal will be soon.  But, I have posted my Sopwith Camel publicly, so you can see that.  I see there is a place to post builds here on the forum, so I will head over there next.  :]

Regards,
Brae

Welcome to the forum, Brae.  I look forward to seeing your work here, both aircraft and structures.
Cheers,
Bud

Hello Brae and welcome to the forum, glad to have you here. I had a look at your Camel build and I must say, for your first ever bi-plane you have done a fantastic job, I hope to see much more of your work posted here soon, keep up the good work.
