    Gatling Gun

    1:8 scale (common to Scale Horse Drawn Vehicle modelers) would be awesome and the tiny parts would be easy to work with, even the rounds. I'd really be interested in this model as a stand alone static display.

    My Lack of Modeling

    Hey Zathros, As a newbie to this and some "other sites" that I see you at, I've come to look for your builds. You're a proxy teacher to me! I hope I never get to the point of expecting constant posting from you and then chastizing you because of my own selfishness...I imagine that would feel...

    I see some familiar usernames here from some of the other forums I've recently joined! I guess birds of a feather really do flock together! I'm into multi-media modeling with card modeling as the base media. I try to learn something from everyone and everything. I'm still in the process of...
