I'm a 34 year old rookie.

Hi all. I really enjoyed modelling as a kid and I've decided to pick it back up, both as a great hobby and as a away to spend some time with my son's.(Hopefully I can keep from glueing my fingers together.) I'm a dyed in the wool Treadhead but I also plan on doing some rotary wing aircraft as well. I'm planning on doing an M3 CFV Bradley as my first kit.(I've spent some time in a few.)
I know next to nothing about scale modeling but I'm really excited to get started and learn. I hope you don't mind bone head questions. Thanks in advance and I'm looking forward to making some new friends here on the discussion boards.

Welcome back to the hobby. Most of us have simular stories about modeling as a kid, and returning as an adult. I think you'll find that it's just as enjoyable now as then.

Welcome to the forum. You mean fingers are not supposed to get glued together? Don't worry about bonehead questions, I have asked my fair share of them and I've not yet been run off. A Bradley was my first armor kit also .See you around the armor forum.

Whoa. a treadhead that's been in the things! i can't wait to see the detail you'll be able to put on that brad of yours! (though, i think woody's right! wingy thingies are lots-a-fun!) Don't worry about questions... the only bad question is the one you don't ask, so fire away (these guys can help you with anything... that has to do with models, of course!) Smile [:)]

Post some pics when you finish with that M3, ok?!? Smile [:)]
