Hello from Belgium

Hello everyone,

Thank you for accepting me in the group.
I'm a 50 y.o. Belgian just starting paper modeling. Untill now I built mostly in wood (boats) or plastic(cars). Allthough I don't build much anymore due to a lack of time and energy. I'm a stroke survivor since 2010, so I have to build one-handed. yes it is possible but terribly slow. Since I work fulltime I'm just an occasional builder but I enjoy seeing what fellow modelers build.
I have some kits waiting as well as a well furnished HDD waiting for better times to build.
Read you soon in the threads,

Fred

Hello from Belgium

Hello everyone,

I'm a 50y.o. Belgian and new to paper modeling, I used to build in wood (boats) and plastic (cars and RR buildings)I'm a stroke survivor so I have to build one-handed and thus I'm a very slow builder; I only build occasionally due to a lack of time and energy but I enjoy seeing the work of fellow modelers.
Read you soon in the threads,

Fred

I'm so sorry I posted twice because I thought the first post didn't came through. Is there a way to delete my second post?
Thank you.

Fred,

It is ok, I merged your two messages while they were moderated, that is why you didn't see them initially.
I am keeping the second message as it gets you one more post closer to 10, and having full access to the forum

Rick

Thank you,
Well no, my area is getting worse, I read in the newspaper this morning that Belgium will probably be totally locked down. The city of Antwerp demands a curfew and ban on gathering. I'm a self-employed optician.starting from today I close my store for three weeks in order to protect my customers, my family and myself .Due to the restrictions imposed by our government it's impossible to serve my customers properly anyway. It's a financial catastrophy.

Have a good day.

Welcome Fred! Stay safe as much as possible, this sucks and hopefully soon it will begin to decrease. It is a disaster for everyone everywhere. Greetings from Argentina!
