Welkom Francois (or should that actually be François?)
I hope you can find here what you are looking for. There are a bunch of very knowledgable folks around here. Some do figs, some vehicles and some do planes… Never be afraid to ask … You might even get answers :wink:

It’s normal François, but everyone here just says swa, that makes it all a bit easier! As for the questions? I do have some, first let me figure out how the site works and where I can post some things. I mainly make military dioramas and small vignettes of WW2. :+1:

I don’t think most of the blokes here know what you mean when you say Swa… Unless it is a abbreviation for your name… Then it also could be Suske :laughing:

For us foreigners:
suske - Wiktionary, the free dictionary (darling)
Suske is also a diminutive form of Franciscus (Francois)

I am always interested in learning about other languages, my own is an obscure one from the northern edges of Europe.

It is also a well known character in a Belgian comic book series: Suske & Wiske. You call it Finn och Fiffi, if I am not mistaken…

Apparently we do, although I haven’t read it myself.
The Gaston comics was my favourite followed by Tintin and Spirou

Those are nice too. I grew up with all those comics and all are a completely different style…
