bmill245 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hey, guys. My name is Brian Miller. I'm 25 and I live in Selinsgrove, PA. I build 1/700 scale ships. Why ships you may ask? Honestly I don't know. I always loved to watch naval movies, I did my senior project in high school on ships, and apparently my favorite toy as a baby was a little boat. I've only started building models about 8 months ago after my xbox died. I can't believe I wasted my time on that thing. I'm basically working through the cheap plastic ships (KGV, Tirpitz, Graf Spee, etc.). I try to do one a month, but.... well you guys know how it goes. I'm looking forward to chatting with you guys and maybe meeting a few of you at a show. Thanks for your time. Brian M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghodges Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hello Brian, great to have you here in the nut house with the rest of us! I haven't built a ship since I was a kid, but I bought one last year and I'm still trying to get up the nerve to start it. I also know what you mean about the "one a month" goal.....still, sounds like you're having fun and that (to me) is the victory! Cheers!

Weedeater Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hello Brian, - Welcome to the Society and the DF. As long as YOU are enjoying yourself, that's what counts. And if you find yourself in a pickle on how to do something, (like better decal application, dry brushing, washes, etc.), the group here has plenty of experienced modelers that are more than willing to help out. We all hope that you get all that you are looking for out of the hobby and this site. Model on, Brother of the Sprue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimHortman Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Welcome to the forum Brian! I too had quite a 1/700 IJN Navy at one point in the past. Not up to contest standards, but it looked nice in a display case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
