Hello, everyone. My name is Ed Carr and I live in Hagerstown, Maryland. For those who do not really know where that is, I live about a one and a half hour drive northwest of Washington, DC and Baltimore, Maryland. Also I live very near Sharpsburg, MD which is where the Antietam National Battlefield Park is located. I am 45 going on 46 years old and started building models again a few years ago after not building models since my childhood. One day, I purchased an X-wing Star Wars model and then over a few weeks I built it and from then on I have been building models more and more. I do not really build any one specific kind of model. I built Star Wars models mostly upon getting back into the hobby, but I built a M-41 Walker Bulldog tank just last year. Currently, I am building a Roman War Ship kit. I have WWII era prop plane kits as well as a WWI era British tank kit and a Star-Trek Enterprise ship kit yet to build. I also plan on building more armor and some jets as well. And, I still have a few more Star Wars kits to build as well, so I guess my interests so far are rather eclectic. I am enjoying model building very much once again. I viewed some of the other previous posts from around the turn of the new year and noticed that some members build upwards of ten plus models in a year. I simply build about four per year, each taking about three months to complete. I am looking forward to reading more posts as well as learning more tips and tricks from those more experienced. I am also looking forward to seeing photos of IPMS members' models both constructed and in the process of being constructed. Also, I hope to post some photos of my work here or there. Thanks for reading and happy new year!
