Hello from So Cal!

[JCO1952]

Hello everyone,

I’m JC Osborne and have been building armor and aircraft for several years now. These days I’m building mostly armor as my aircraft tend to come out looking like armor. Hope to be an active participant and get to know many of you.

On my bench right now is Tamiyas Gun Tractor and Dragons 25 pounder I’m building for a N. Africa group build.


Some progress shots:

Welcome, JC! Nice looking work. B)

Nice! If you have a startup photo showing parts on the sprue, I can put your builds into our Africa Campaign (if interested).

Good morning, welcome and Happy Christmas JC from the Land of the Long White Cloud, (yep we're a fairly international bunch).

Nice work on that tractor, looking forward to seeing more of your projects.

Kia ora.

Welcome and Merry Christmas JC! This is one of the most helpful forums around. We joke a lot, get to know each other and help each other out with info, ideas, and other things.

To join in our group builds we usually start the build with a photo of the unbuilt kit with a date/time reference in the photo. What I do is get an MA page on my cell phone, zoom in on the date/time in the lower left corner of the page and take a photo with the kit and cell phone in it. That is what Saul (Sharkmouth) was referring to.

So far your build is looking real good! Look forward to seeing more!

Welcome aboard JC, Sorry about the problems registering, glad you kept at it. I'm Bob the IT guy around here. Looks like you're settling in right nicely.

 

[JCO1952]

Hey, Bob!

No worries. I made it, so I’m happy. My day job is IT so I’m familar with some of the odd the struggles one can have with web pages.

Thanks for letting me in!

Hi Sharkmouth,

Here's the shot I took. I'm building this as part of another GB online. If that's OK with you and the shot works, sign me up for the North Africa build. I've got Takom's M3 Grant on deck as well.

I live in Florida now, used to call the antelope valley home.

I wish it had a time stamp! Could you PM me a link? I can then make a decision. As for me, no issues as to where you post as long as you post and have fun! This is more or less the way we are here; no pressue.

Welcome from N.GA. ex FL, Miami refugee. Nice weathering on your tractor!! I just found out that Tamiya came out with a 1/48th(my scale) scale M1A2 Abrams that I have my eye on. Where's my Hobby Lobby coupon? Gary S.
