New to modeling
Posted by plumline on Tuesday, November 11, 2008 3:51 PM

    Hello, my name is Mike Iam 51 a plumber by day and a Modeler by night.Just getting back into the hobby after being out of it for sometime.I like to build aircraft and tanks wwII era. See you all at the forums. A little side note been looking at the forums there's been talk of a store called Hobby Lobby. My wife and I recently went to Tennessee the Chattanooga area. My son goes to collage there.He hurt his shoulder so we flew back to take him to hospital for surgery. After the procedure I went to get a perscripton filled. Iam driving down the road looking for the Wallgreens. When what do I see a Hobby Lobby so I had to check it out. After I drop off the perscripton I do have my prioritys. It's just like you guys said half a row for military and half a row for cars. The paints are right there too,in ca. the paints are behind the cash reg.At least the spray cans are.Now that Iv'e been to a Hobby Lobby does that make me a offical modeler. Thats my story see you around

Hiya Mike! and Sign - Welcome [#welcome]!

Unfortunately we have no HL's in the northeastBoohoo [BH], but I used to visit them in TX.

Watch for the great $-off coupons the folks are always mentioning!

Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the forums, plumline!!! Can't wait to see you over in the armor section! Hobby Lobby has an okay selection of kits and etc. I recommend trying to find your LHS(local hobby shop).

Welcome to the forum.  Saddly to say, going to hobby lobby doesnt make you a real modeler.  You can apply to become one once you almost remove a finger, or some part of a finger, with either a razor blade, exacto knife, hobby saw, or dremel (almost scalped myself with mine)
