Buckeye,

Welcome. The Membership Committee will be by shortly to collect your dues...(jist kiddin')

Take a minute and update your location in your User Control Panel. There is no point in tryin' to hide from the NSA, CIA & or FBI. Let alone all the "bots". A nice touch is also to add your UTC offest from Greenwich time.

If you do aeriploanes don't get sucked into those 1/33 monstrosities. 1/100 is where it is at.

Beware of a poster name "Rata". He is your worst nightmare.

Once again welcome. As soon as you can post what your interests are and mebbe some pics of your work.

MS

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for joining. Since you're new to the hobby take a look at the First Cuts - A Lounge and Tips & Tricks subforums. Lots of good information there to help get you on your way. As Ruben said, when you have questions don't be afraid to ask. Re Rata - MichaelS is just pulling your leg. Rata is a valued member of our community.

Hello and welcome. This is the place to be if your just starting out, or if you’ve been building forever. Lots to learn here. Take a look around and start with some easy kits. Free ones of course.

Ok, first question for the newbie: What weight paper do I print the models on?

Welcome aboard buckeye81!

Re your paper weight query, go to 'First Cuts' part of the forum. You can see if someone has posed the same question before (highly likely) or start a thread asking yourself.
I hope, like most of us, the paper modeling addiction bites and you're here for the long haul.
