Hi neighbor!

OK, I actually live in Winnipeg Man., but you are still closer to me than 90% of the others on this website.

What do you like to build? Feel free to post any pictures of models you might have, we all love to see that kind of stuff.

Welcome!
I think Minnesota has more modelers per capita than any state in the union, because of the long miserable winters. Whatever your interests are I'm sure you'll find something interesting here.

Yea.......just enjoying our partial sunshine.
I've been a modeler in the plastic stuff and model rockets now since about 3rd grade.
I'm only now exploring paper modeling. My area of interest at the moment is Ironclads of the Civil War, but I hope to branch out into my primary interest which is planes, ships, and tanks of WWII. I have been a mechanical designer now for 30 years+ and will hopefully get into designing my own stuff.......after I get my feet wet.

Another Minnesotan? You would think that we needed to find something to do during the cold months. Another mechanical designer? - I have been known to design an airplane or two myself.

Welcome aboard!

Dark, long, cold winters?

Perfect time to build!

Welcome! We seem to be enjoying a surge of interest in ironclads, so you should be able to feed your need until spring (and beyond).
