Pics to follow . . . . eventually . . . .

Please don’t take offence to this but you appear to be a real newbie to the hobby. The need to find and down load every model you can find reminds me of the typical new computer user that just has to send every joke he gets to the 1001 people in his address book. (My brother is so bad about this that I block his email). This is a low key forum with a wonderful group of modelers sharing a common interest. If you have the patience and follow the builds you can eventually gain the skills to be an advanced or even a master modeler. As for my self I have designed a couple of simple models and given them away. My builds have been featured on several web sites I have been a paper modeler for over 4 decades but by your standards I’m one of the “Top Heavy” members. Kick back and enjoy the company this is a very good place too be.

I am a "Hanger on" who contributes few builds and even fewer models, though I would like to contribute more. I post fairly regularly and have learned alot from this site and appreciate it. I think that we all contribute something, be it models, advice or just a bit of colorfulness.

Oh sure, blame it all on poor Trolls!! Just because school buses are yellow and horned toads aren't toads (or horned) it all gets dumped on Trolls. If you people weren't so busy building machines of death and destruction (people don't kill people - watermelons kill people) you'd realize that we're about to enter a new internet ice age caused by global warming as a result of those people going to the moon in Arizona. Sometimes I think it would have been better if the North had won the Second World War. Trolls need love too!

Hey Ron,

Look on the bright side, you've got a lot of ready made avatars just waiting to be used...,

P.S. No offense meant. "Do Not Feed the Troll" has been around almost as long as the internet...,
