Hi All,
I have just returned to the hobby after many years of R/C building and flying. I have tried to keep up with what was going on in the Hobby by reading Fine Scale Modeler. I have wanted to get back to scale model building but time has been pretty thin rasing a family and being pretty active in the other hobby.
About 10-11 months ago I was hit with diabetic neropathy and my vision got too fuzzy for me to enjoy flying. I moped a bit about it for a while but by chance my wife talked me into going to Hobby Lobby a couple of months ago. I found the plastic section and thought it would be nice to get back into building. Then I thought, heck I won't be able to see the details...scratch that idea. I went to go find the wife and took an isle that happened to have the Ott lite display. The magnifier lite was on and I pulled it down and looked at the back of my hand.....WOW I can see!! I went back to the model isle and picked up a AM B-25B and picked up an Ott lite/magnifer. Between the magnifier/lite and another magnifier that attach to my glasses I can see the texture in brushed on paint. I am stoked to be able to build and have an outlet. I have been reading and learning all I can. Things are so changed from 25 years ago....haha most things are! Well I have rambled on enough but.......
Hi my name is Bill and I am a modeler again!
