Hello from Virginia

[Danta2er]

Hello to all! I've been floating around for a few weeks trying to get my bearings and immersing myself in all the modelling goodness here.

I was watching a build of the 1:1 De Agostini Millennium Falcon and saw one of Paul's videos listed in the side-bar. Like a lot of other stories here, I watched the video and started the trip down the rabbit hole

I'm new at the more social media conscious building, at the same time, I am a fast learner and hope to contribute in the future.

Welcome. I fell in the same hole about 5 years ago lol. I haven't posted much but ISM is loaded with a wealth of information and knowledge. Very friendly people as well.

Welcome from a fellow Virginian....(not natively)! I also was sucked in by Paul's videos. It definitely is a great way to get people to the forum.

Howdy Mince, I've lived in VA for 20+ years now and I'm still considered a "Yankee with a u-haul" lol

Woodbridge? I work in Arlington, I think I've got you beat for "Northern VA". I've read that the rest of VA thinks the northern part is full of Yankees. They're probably right.

[Danta2er]

Pretty much...yep. I know some folks that think the War of Northern Aggression is still under way.

Welcome from Blygh,UK. Pauls videos do have that affect on you don't they, i only wish it was so easy.

So, fellow Virginians. Where do you'all do your shopping. I've done the majority on line but would love to have a local haunt to visit.

If you're in Northern VA, I go to Piper Hobby. They also have a monthly get together. I've struggled with, "pay a little more and support a small business, or save a few bucks?" Check out some locations for Hobby Works. A bit bigger for selection and locations and still kind of expensive. I've only been to the shop in Rockville. Otherwise, 99% online for me.
