Glad I found this place!

Hello,

I've been building kits since sometime in the 1950's, with a hiatus until a room mate got me started again in college. I build slowly, mainly because I have other things that need doing, and a kit can sit on the bench for a month at a time or longer. I'm also a retired microscopist, and tend to put in too much tiny (thus invisible to the unaided eye) detail. I'm also a retired geologist and materials scientist, though my expertise is years out of date for some of the newer stuff.

Welcome to the Herd, Littlemarten! Hyperattention to detail, a build can sit for a while-you'll fit right in with us!
I look forward to seeing your builds.
Best regards,
Brad

Don't feel too bad. Most of ours are microscopic also.

I have often said that I must be a river otter changeling, considering my love of water and sashimi …

Otter ≠ marten, though

It's all in the details, Marten, so have fun!

 

[BarleyBop]

Yup, what they all said!
I think I was the new guy for all of about 10 seconds!

Littlemarten is a translation of my last name into English.
