The Rat Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 ...and the horses escape. Other times, you lock it tight and some idiot still manages to get in. Hello folks, After stealing ideas from this board for years I'm now willing to risk your reputation and pull up a chair. My area of expertise plastic torture is mostly in the What if? genre, where skills are less important than just having fun. A lot of whiffers are already on here, so you will mostly find me hanging out in heir corner of the board. Real name: David Bailey. Not the photographer who hung out with supermodels and rock stars. Location: Romantic Pickering, Ontario. immediately east of Toronto. I will neither confirm nor deny that Pickering is where Toronto sends people it doesn' want. Age: 69 chronologically, 99 physically, 9 mentally. Other hobbies: Photography, nature, canoeing, aerospace, skepticism, all indulged in with enthusiasm unbounded by knowledge and intelligence. On with the show! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Gidday David, welcome aboard. What whiffs do you do, floaty, flying or targets? I'm into 1/600 scale ships myself, usually actual ships but enjoy whiffing them also. And yeah, the beauty of them is that they're never wrong, so less time in research, more time in actually making them. Regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 to the strangeness, David. Sounds like you'll fit in fine. IIRC we have a dedicated Whiffy area if you prefer, but otherwise put things in the relevant genre's area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
