Hello All

[Randy]

My Name is Randy and have been Modeling for 50 plus yrs. Had a massive heart attack followed
by Quaddruple by pass surgery. I have been stuggling since. i try to get to the bench as much as possible.
I recently got a few 1/16 scale WW2 kits and was searching for some nice figures to place with them. I have
been watching all the Fantastic work everyone does from this site and are truly amazed at how far this hobby
has become. Everyone is such awesome artists. Just wanted to say hello

Kindest Regards Randy

Welcome to the Planet, Randy! I wish you a continued recovery and a lot of fun in the hobby. I look forward to seeing your finished work.
Since you're in Springfield VA, we may meet in person occasionally, if you visit any shows here in the Mid-Atlantic. The Miniature Figure Collectors of America (MFCA) have their show outside Philadelphia coming up in May, for example. And there's the show staged by our friends in the National Capital Model Soldier Society in the fall.
Prost!
