Silas Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Hi everyone, Been building models for about 40+ years and have belonged to IPMS on and off for the last 30 years or so. I was mainly an armor builder but got burned out on tanks and switched over to figures about 10 years ago. I build/paint 1/35-54mm stuff with my favorite periods being World War One, the American Civil War, the series of wars between the Finns and Russians 1939-1945 and the French Foreign Legion. Because of family and work, I don't belong to a local IPMS chapter, but since there are several nearby, I'm thinking about joining one this Fall. Regards, Russ Hammond IPMS#29260 Wheaton, Illinois

ClareWentzel Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 Welcome Russ. Show us some of your stuff. I am sure that one of the Chicago area clubs will be a great fit. Check out some of the contests in the area as a means of getting your building juices flowing again.
Silas Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Posted July 21, 2012 Thanks guys! Here's a link to a blog I just started, I'm doing an S-B-S on an older figure that I picked up on EBay for six bucks: http://theduckboardgazette.blogspot.com/ Russ
