Hiya!
The name is Thomas and I have been interested in building models since I was extremely young. Over the last couple years my interests have peaked into scratch building and studio scale. I have spent months upon months reading forums, looking at others projects and been speechless at what I have seen. I have yet to try building anything that wasn't bought off a Walmart shelf, but I think I am ready to start something, a real project.
I expect to fail the first couple times as I am basically winging this whole thing. My particular interests are Star Trek, my ultimate goal is a large scale USS DEFIANT or SABER CLASS (one of my favorite ships), which is scratch built. I have collected every diagram I can find on both ships, I have images from every angle and I am in the process of getting them sized accordingly on paper.
But its good to finally be a member of a group of such talented artists and model makers, I look forward to talking with everyone and getting help over time.
