Hello From Missouri!!!

Post by Crusader_HVSS »

Hello, I am a history enthusiast from Missouri, United States. I mostly deal with world war II and American Civil War history, and recently got into RC Tanking. I am currently working on a 1/16 scale Heng long M4A3 Build, and am excited to use this forum for advice/tips!




P.S. Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and greetings from a Cape Girardeau, MO native. I’m living in Illinois now :'(
Apparently we have similar interests, WW2 and American Civil War. Welcome aboard and enjoy our forum. Be sure to use the search engine for some good reading.
Years ago I had a patient who had flown B-25 Mitchells in WW2. He said their plane was named Biscuit. I thought it sounded like a cool name. Not to be confused with the British word biscuit which is more like a cookie to us Yanks.
I nicknamed my Tiger tank Ol’ Ugly. One of our fellow Missourians calls it Miss Leningrad.

Welcome along Mr HVSS, you will find a dedicated crowd of fellow "Shermaholics" in here I can assure you !
Back in the day I built a Monogram 1/35th Sherman & had "Momma was a Chevy" hand painted on the turret if that helps ;)

Thank you! I really like the name biscuit, so I think I'll take inspiration from it and call it "Cracker" or something!

Hello! As already noted, there are more than a few Sherman fiends here, although many seem to prefer that 17-pounder British job with the bustle. :P How are you for Sherman books? I have rather a few and can recommend some if you need. You might also check out the section "Reference Materials." Now as to "Cracker"... :problem: Well, unh, given US history... (I wonder if our UK pals and others around the globe caught that one.)

Ha ha ha. I was waiting for that. Such a shame we have such a woke society here in America. I still like Cracker.

C_HVSS,

I'm the other guy from Missouri that Jimster was talking about! I'm a Wisconsin Native, moved to Seattle for 12 years, but have been in Jeff City for the past 13 years. Missouri Winters are way better to deal with and I love the heat and humidity of the Summer's! Yeah, I'm sick like that! :crazy: Hope you enjoy yourself here, the guys are great!

Cheers,
Eric.
