Hey guys just thought I would introduce myself. Name is Joel, I live up in PA on the east coast of the US.

Basically I love to build stuff. Models, LEGO kits, Model Rockets, furniture, etc. If I can put it together I love to get my hands on it. I mostly like to build kits and such as I really don't have the patience and skill to do much in the way of scratch building. However, I have a good friend that is keen on doing a bit of scratch building, and custom decal making, so between the two of us we can turn out some pretty cool models.

The models I have been building lately are Gundam/mecha kits. They snap together and are mostly pre-colored. I build about 80% of them OOB, I find it relaxing to snip, file, and snap. From time to time though I do get inspiration for painting one, and/or customizing one.

I will be joining the ranks of the Millennium Falcon builders shortly and look forward to talking more with everyone. Till then.

Greetings,

I from PA also, I'm down here in Lancaster.

I too am building some Gundam models and also the DeAgo Falcon. It will be great to compare notes. Have you seen the upgrade parts available at Shapeways?

Thanks for the welcome guys looking forward to it. The subscription aspect really works well for me as I don't have time to always build a kit from start to finish. With this setup I can work on it a bit at a time as parts show up and then set it aside till the next batch.

I will say, until this kit I didn't know about this company. Probably a good thing as I would be broke. That spitfire kit looks amazing as well. If they ever make a P-38 lightning I will be all over it.

Also I am aware of the parts available on shapeways. I am debating getting them because I am not really sure I want to put that much work into the interior. I am mostly interested in the exterior. I may spring for the parts in the cockpit though since those are easily viewable from the outside. Of course I could always change my mine.
