Just doing an introduction thread. I've been in the hobby about 14 years. My current setup is about 12 years old with changes along the way.

I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)
