Hey everyone, I got into modeling when I was around 13 I guess and always fancied taking a particular model and making it into something else. Scratch building. But I wasn't really able to get really going with it till about 4 years ago and ran into some unexpected marital problems and was forced to abandon my dreams and survive. I think some of you guys know what I mean so anyway I did manage to save three of my builds and I have two to share with you now. But after seeing some of the builds on this site, I'm fired up again and ready to start the build-up of tools and supplies required for my future endeavors. You guys have some tremendous, beautiful builds. I never knew such builds were out there and my hat is off to you all for the astounding work you've done. But I've worked in the woods or logging in Louisiana (where I was born and raised) for a while in my younger days and was always amazed by the equipment so I set out to build replicas of those machines or rigs. I am currently planing to build a pair of skidders (one for sure) to go with my logging group. So I'm very pleased and honored to be among you guys (and ladies) and look forward to maybe conversing with you and maybe ask for your opinions or suggestions as I stand ready to do for the same for you all.

"honored"? Wow, thanks! We're just folks sharing a common interest. Any questions are welcome. After all, we are all here to learn and share and if we don't know the answer, well, we'll try to offer our B.S. with some conviction. Les

Glad to see you "hangin' out" here on the forum.
Another way of putting mountaindewed words are "if you can't dazzel 'em with brilliance...baffle 'em with b.s. ;D ;D
