Hi all,
I just signed in at this great site after lurking around for a couple of weeks!
I saw some great work, helpfull tips and a lot of humor!
:woohoo:
hell, that is my thing!!!!
OK, for introduction:
I am Henri, 39 years young and beautiful, living in the Netherlands.
I all ways have being fascinated by modelling since the day I saw my father work on his modeltrains and plastic trucks.
For me these subjects were boring and my interest has allways been with military.
Started building my self at the age of 6 and using more glue then plastic the first steps were made!
I did not spend that much time on modelling and it was more building "straight from the box", adding decals and "Voila!".
In the early 80's I came across the "Verlinden way volume 1" and I was blown away!
That was what I wanted to do!
How ever, since that time I did not spend the time on modelling because of work, marriage, friends, divorce, other collections, bla bla bla....to say short.....I wanted to do everything except modelling at that time!
During that time I could not resist to walk in every modelshop I came across and leave with something I could add to the stash of the "do want to do" things!
A few weeks ago I was re-orginizing my stable...uuuhhh...house and came across my stash again!
It triggered me and decided that I now really wanted to start!
So, to be short, I have build a bit, stored a lot, read about it, but not an expert at all.
Because of the things I read on this site I decided to join, because there is so much knowlegde here with so many usefull tips I want to try.
So, don't shoot me when I ask something stupid in your eyes!
Don't shoot me for launguage mistakes (try to write and speak Dutch and we will see who will has the most fun!!!) :evil:
I hope I will reach a level of expertise I have seen here and then I will be a happy man!
I am so easy to please......
Best regards,
Henri
