Hi from Austin, Texas

My name if Francis McGrath, I've been doing paper models for years. My pride and joy is that I designed and built the Neighborhood of Make Believe from Mr. Rogers. I also enlarged the Trolley I designed to be full size.

I also took the R2-D2 by Shunichi Makino and enlarged to life-sized.

Welcome, Francis.

Where in Austin are you? Are you a long-time resident there?

There are two of us close to you. I am in Lago Vista and willard11 is in Cedar Park. Another member will be moving to Brenham in another month or so. We're hoping to have an in-person gathering when the pandemic has abated sufficiently. In the meantime, we have virtual gatherings using GoogleMeet or ZOOM on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays. If you are interested, I can add you to the invite list.

Wayne

I'm in North Austin, near Parmer and Mopac. Please invite me to your get togethers. Saturdays can get busy, but I'll try to make it when I can.

Welcome! Some really nice builds there.

I'm a former resident of Texas with family still in Dallas and East Texas. Was in Austin just last summer....

You, Joe and I are within 20 minutes of each other. Cool!

PM me or email me at waynemc65 at att.net with your email address so I can add you to the list. The next gathering is scheduled for 10 October at 12 noon our time.
