Hello!!!

[Leonidas]

I am Leonidas, real name is Nathan. I absolutely love modeling primarily ground vehicles from WWII, although I have started building planes. I also love history, and technical stuff. (I collect technical manuals, that's actually how I found this site). I am also 16 although this month I will be turning 17.

Welcome aboard Nathan. Hopefully you won't mind hanging out with a bunch of old farts like us. Just speak a little louder and all should be good.

Oh trust me, I do not care in the slightest. I actually kind of prefer it because us younglings can be quite rambunctious, and I don't always like that.

Welcome to our dysfunctional family.

Welcome. It's refreshing to have a youngster interested in World War 2. If you read through enough of the threads around here, we can be a bit rambunctious as well.

Yeah, there does not seem to be as many young people who like to read or learn history. I like to do both at the same time: Read a book about history/WWII It's just something that has always fascinated me, and I have no clue why I absolutely love the engineering/technical sides of it too.

Happy early or late birthday. I like to build paper and plastic models. My models are mostly planes and I have a weakness for the AT-6.

You're early. (Birthday is on the 26th so I got 22 more days). Also how does one make a paper model plane? Ive made paper airplanes but they weren't models. At least, not the ones I made

Now THAT'S cool looking but it also looks hard as hell and possibly flimsy.
