Welcome Ernst from Roseville CA. A good reference for you in Texas would be Gene at Artistic Hobbies. Great guy to deal with.

How did I miss this one?!? Welcome, Ernst. I used to live down in Houston way back when and if you know the joke I'm what you'd call a Ratback.

Sounds like you and I have a very common modeling background. If you have any photos posted anywhere of your aircraft builds I'd love a link so I can check them out. I'm a member at finescale.com so hopefully you have some there. My last 32nd build was a Stuka, and the kit stash contains lots of cool 32nd kits that the RC tanks have stolen all my time from. But, I keep promising myself that this winter I WILL build the HE-111!

What static 1/16th kits do you have? I can't wait to see what you do with the E8. I keep telling myself that one day I'll build a Tamiya tank and that's the one I want to start with. Tell ya what, you do a build log and when you finish the tank you can PM me an address and I'll send ya a couple of 1/16 scale 55 gallon fuel drums to go with the Sherman, free of charge. I'll even pick up the postage. But I want to see LOTS of pix! :)

Welcome to the Dark Side. You're gonna love it. Then hate it. Then love it again. Then ...
