                        Hi - My first post. I built models enthusiastically from age seven to seventeen, then almost completely got out of it. I'm 42 now, and haven't built a model in twenty years, but I've kept subscribing to FSM, expecting to get back into modelling in my dotage.

                        Hello rickybill, Welcome to the forum. Lots of us have had a break from the hobby at one time or another. You'll be surprised how quickly you get back in the swing of things.

                        Welcome rickybill,

                        My modelling story is pretty much the same as yours - and I get the impression that there are many others like us. Its a great hobby -

                        Dotage ? At 42 ! (?)
