Roger that Brother Steve!!

The folks on here are to the last one a great bunch. These folks love to help and are the first to ask for help if they need it.

I really enjoy it here.

Good to know folks. I'll look forward to it.
Here's my smallest tank. Need to paint it and weather it up!
It's a 1/24 HL Sherman. I guess not many people got one of these but its a neat little thing.
