I second these thoughts! Thank you Jim and thank everyone here that makes this such a great site. I also want to take a moment to remember those who fought and died at this great battle that shares the same date as the founding of this great site. I salute all who fought and died trying to free europe. Kevin

Happy.... Anniversary... Armorama.....
Ok...OK.... Promise not to do another impersonation of MM.... besides the gowns' been sent out for a cleaning...... :-) :-) :-) and I'm too old and fat to properly drape over a piano..... :-) :-) :-) :-)
Now to be serious for a second...... (which is extrememly hard for me by the way) where else can you go, talk to great modellers from around the world, learn from the greatest, most talented collection of modellers on the face of the planet, and still laugh and joke with each other, inspite of international borders, politics, race, religion, sex, and all that other destracting stuff....... but here....... at Armorama...... my personal feelings is it truely is the best web site for all modellers.
Perhaps the world would be a better place if a few of the "world leaders" stopped in and learned from a few modellers about how to get along......... and maybe relaxed and built a model or two........
:-) :-) :-)

Hip Hip Hooray.. 3 cheers for Armorama...
just a side note.. I started building my first model the week before christmas December 2001.. and this was prob the first site I stumbled over that I liked.. although it did take me awhile to register and start posting on here as at first I thought I had nothing to offer the group.. but hard work and much encourgement from the friends I made here have allowed me to enjoy the hobby just that much more...
(end of testomonial)..
So keep up the good work out there as it really is appriateated...

The nearest thing I have to a modelling club, amd international too - a real community without frontiers.
Thanks Jim, but also all the other staff members that help it work from day-to-day.

As an early member, I can say it is great to see how the site has developed. I've been in and out several times, but have always come back to the same atmosphere and comradeship!!
Cheers to 3 years and hopes of many more to come!!
