New Guy !

Posted by skylark650hp on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 8:35 AM

Hello to all ! I've been reading these Forum posts almost daily for quite awhile now and figured it was time to get involved. I have been modelling since I was a kid, but took quite a break between the Military and now having kids of my own. But, thanks to my Doctor's suggestion of finding something to do to lower my blood pressure , building models has come back into my life. As far as it lowering my blood pressure, I guess time will tell, because sometimes I wonder.

I have read a tremendous amount of information here and look forward to interacting with all of you. Thanks in advance for any "Future" support.

Welcome. Just before you start building, do research on the kit before hand. There are alot of evil kits that are just horrible and will send you into to fits of rage that wil get your blood a boilin

Welcome! And

Some people spend their whole lives wondering if they made a difference. Gundams don't have that problem.

Thanks for the welcomes and warnings. I'm currently on a 1/32 Academy F16CJ Block 50. No major setbacks as of yet, just a little filler work to do. Built a Revell 1/48, B17G and was not too happy , alot of work needed to make it look presentable. But, I guess that's why i love the challenge.

Yea, thats the thing. there are differences between large seams, and some inaccuracies that need to be fixed and things like... the top half of the wing having a better mold the the bottom, and the bottom coming out smaller then the top, or something of that nature (Seen it happen before) Or getting akit with a broken piece or breaking a piece yourself.
