    Presentation to forum members

    My name is Joaquim Pancho, I'm 53 years old and I live in Bicesse, parish of Alcabideche, municipality of Cascais.



    I'm a police officer and have been posted to the Cascais Division since 1996, the year I came from Porto after six months of service in that city.



    I am also a visual artist, as I paint in watercolor and oil and last September of this year it appeared in a French art magazine called ART4ANY, (unfortunately it is only for sale on Amazon).



    In addition to painting, I have this passion for model building, which was passed on to me by my older brother, when he was in the Portuguese Air Force, and I also followed in his footsteps by volunteering in 1990, serving 4 years of service. I was stationed there for 1 year in Sintra in 1991, where I watched, so to speak, the end of the Wings of Portugal, the famous T-37, after the terrible accident involving captain José Pinto, when he was carrying out some maneuvers and the wings of the device broke. Tests carried out on the remaining planes in the squadron revealed that they all had micro cracks in the wings, putting an end to the Asas de Portugal, which left us with many memories.

    Having said that, I headed to Monte Real, where I was working on our old A7 and at the end of my time in the Air Force, I was also able to witness the arrival of the first four F-16s.



    Of course, as you may have already calculated that my preference is for 1/72 scale planes, but I also like collecting prototypes and models relating to space conquest, but I rule out science fiction, although I would really like to have a model of the Eagle from Space series 1999.


    But, I'm here to learn new techniques, new products, brands with you and of course admire the work of all the members, as I'm a person who values this type of work, whether or not I was connected to the arts.



    That's all for now, a big hug to everyone and thank you for accepting me.

    Well done



    Joaquim Pancho

                Welcome Joaquim. I had the pleasure of visiting Cascais a couple of years ago while sailing down the coast of Portugal and into the Med. The best Bacalao ever.

                        Hi and welcome Joaquim.
                        Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                          An illuminating introduction Joaquim - I'm sure you'll enjoy being part of this excellent forum (and Steve isn't really my name - honest!) Good to welcome you!
