discussion Hi from Florida, USA..

[GhostRider27]

Hey guys. Ed here.. Been away from the hobby for several years and working on a few things. I cannot believe how far this hobby has advanced in terms of injection molding, kit technology and these things called 3D decals.. lol

These kits have sure gotten pricey, but the level of detail is incredible. Seem like a fun time to be in the hobby! I do miss the brick and mortar stores that have all closed down in my area. Not a single store where I live and we had great ones years ago.

Anyway, I like modern post war jets, US Navy, Airforce.. Russian... Working on a Revell F-15E right now that I just more than likely ruined gloss coating. lol...

Anyway pleased to be on this site, thanks for letting me join!

Spent a couple of months in Florida, a small place, Stuart, near Ft Lauderdale!! Had a great time. 96 degrees at 6pm in March, just unbelievable.

There is an yearly subscription of GBP10 (about 12 freedom tokens). This will give you full access to the whole site and you'll be able to start threads, post photos and all the normal forum things.
I hope this does not scare you off and lookforward to seeing your work.

Howdy Ed, glad yer in Florida and not me. Spent three years off and on in the Pensacola and Jacksonville area when in the Navy. Just hangin' out in NW Montana these days and swearing at all the "transplants" that have started showing up in the last 3 years.
Pay yer dues and join up, great fun and lots of friendly folks here. :thumb2:

Didn’t realise it was that far.
Ship was in Lauderdale and stayed with friends in laws for a while!! (It was about 1987 so I bet there have one or two changes)
