| Intoducing new member: Skuta Hi everybody
Would just like to say it's a pleasure to be here! I've been sneaking around on the forum a few days and then decided that you seem like a freindly bunch, so I joined. I've been building models since my childhood, mainly boats. I've had a break for about 10 years, mostly due to work and family, but now I'm back. I've been rumaging around in all my boxes and it's amazing what I found. I mean we modellers are a bit mad, saving all kinds of bits and pieces.
If anyone is wondering about my name; it's a Swedish word that means "old sailing boat". I've been living in Sweden for the past 18 years. |

| Hi John,
Wow! what a reception! It looks like my evening is going to be taken up with saying thanks to everyone who welcomes me. One thing is puzzling me; how did you know that my Sailing Barge model is called Emelie? |

And yes, she is a beautiful model!!!

| Hi Skuta and a very warm welcome to the Scale Models forum. We seem to have collected a fair amount of tutorials, build threads, hints and tips and pictures over the years to make up into a pretty reasonable resource.
Enjoy your time here, feel free to ask any question you want, and post your own pictures and experiences when you feel like it.
