Just wanted to say Hey, and thanks for the great site and forum. I have recently become active in modeling after a few years hiatus. I havent actively done this in many moons, so your techniques and ideas are welcome.
I am a WWII junkie and I am primarily interested in allied armor from the period.

Here is what I bring to the table:

I am, and have been a tanker for the past 13 years, I can give you all kinds of help regarding current U.S. armored and soft skin vehicles (please dont ask me questions that could cause me to lose my security clearance)

I am stationed at Ft Knox, and have access to the Patton Museum. If you have any needs for specifics on the vehicles there, I can probably help. I am trying to become a volunteer for the museum, but my work schedule doesnt allow it right now, HOWEVER, I do know several people that are restoring the vehicles, and help out every once in a while so I can get inside vehicles if necessary .

Thanks for reading,

John

Welcome to ArmoramA John. I'd warn you that this site can become very addictive, but a warning wouldn't help, so welcome

Welcome to the site John,and welcome back to this great hobby.I think you will really enjoy the site which is full of some great folks.

Have a good one

Let me greet you with a warm welcome John!!! :-)
Glad to have you on board.
I too enjoy WWII allied vehicles. Mostly and almost exclusively US armor.

I may just need some pics of the M4A3 105mm...I think it's there?

It is, and it is in running condition. It looks great!
They will be using it in the 4th of july reenactment.
If you need anything, let me know

John

welcome to the best site around the web.


ponysoldier

I second that again.

Welcome John. Glad to have you onboard.

Welcome aboard their John. this is the place for armor.

I could use just about any pics of her John. Front, side, rear, deck, turret. If you could get one from inside the turret that would be great. Always looking for more reference pics...

Not a problem.
I'll get some as soon as I can get back to the restoration yard
(they have sooooooooo much more than they show in the museum)

On a different note, they have a SEVERELY battle scarred M4 in the yard. I'll get a few pics of that also

John

That would be awesome John!!!
Like I said I (and I'm sure others) could always use more reference photos. If you have any problem hosting them let me know. I have a couple of sites where I can host them. Nearly 300Megs. of empty space...

Welcome aboard, John This site IS the best place to be.....

John,
