Hamsterman Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Not to be confused with new kids on the block... I'm Chris. Hamsterman is a nickname that I picked up from a friend in grad school a while back. Like many here I wear a number of hats. I'm a science geek by day and husband and father of three by night. We live in Minnesota where you'll find us camping/canoeing/fishing on one of our 10,000 lakes or out hitting the soccer pitch or volleyball court with my kids. I got into model airplanes back when I was about 8 or 9 and my grandfather gave me the Monogram 1/72 B-26 snap-tite kit and I've been interested in the hobby ever since. Lately I haven't had too much time to actually participate in building models but I do a fair amount of research for future builds; especially aircraft that flew in the Mediterranean theater of ops. For the past 8 years or so I've been working with some people researching B-25s of the 57th Bomb Wing (MTO; USAAF) which has been a blast. I look forward to meeting more of you and learning from you. Cheers! Chris 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quoted you as this sums up my modelling at the moment. One day I will actually finish something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qn30jEkPz7 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hi there! A B-26 is a heck of a nice way into the hobby. It makes a nice change from the Airfix Spitfire every 2nd person on here started with 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
