Hello good folks, having been remiss in providing an introduction, here goes.
I'm Kevin, another MM refugee, living in northern Nova Scotia, married 20 years with two great kids (21 and 19), just turned 52 last week, been modelling off and on since..... well now that I try and think when I started, it must have been in the mid 1970s.
I've built cars, planes, ships, the odd spacecraft, miniatures (both military and fantasy),but mostly WWII military, preferring to keep to 1/35 scale, but I have built, am building, and have in the stash things ranging from 1/350 ships to 1/32 aircraft.
I had been a working musician since 1986, been playing since 1979, but recently hung it up and play at home only now, still have all my gear, so who knows what will happen in the future.
Home reno projects, woodworking projects, and wargaming (both board and PC based) are some other interests.
Well, I'm happy to have found this place, looks very good, and I'm glad to see model railroading included in the mix. We can all steal tips and techniques from each other.
I've dabbled in trains since November 1979 when I discovered a Model Railroader magazine in the high school library during an off period, been hooked ever since, but I just don't have the room to build anything that would be satisfying, so I just armchair it for now.
I don't really have the time to be a member of a bunch of sites and give each enough attention to get the most out of it, so I guess I kind of pick a forum and stick with it, so this one's it, having been recommended by the chaps migrating from MM, lots of familiar folks here and plenty of new friends here also.
It sure seems friendly with good interface features, easy to navigate and keep track of where you left off reading, so a big thumbs up to the mods and admins! :thumb2:
