dusting off the skills after 10 years...
So after about a 10 years of not cracking open a kit, I have decided to give it a try again.
My name is Alan, and I am a Civil Engineer that works for the Air Force out at Edwards AFB. I admit, seeing a lot of the aircraft I used to model on a day to day basis has had something to do with my return to Scale Model Building. Everyday on my way to work, I pass the old '08' B-52B. My favorite aircrafts on base are the F-4C that is sitting in front of the FAA building on Base, and the YA-10B in front of the Museum.
My modeling experience is realy quite vast. I started building when I was only 9 years old, and I kept building right up through college. I built everything from Sci-Fi kits to 1/35 scale armor. At one point, the ceiling in my room looked like a dog fight over Europe during WW2, as I built a lot of the Monogram 1/48th scale bomber kits, along with the escorts (p-51's) and the interceptors (me 109s). I used to keep a 5 gallon air tank in my dorm room that I would use to airbrush with. After college I did some building, mostly armor, but family and career took its toll on my time.
Well, now I would like to start building in the eveings again after the kids go to bed. I like the idea of some group builds, and perhaps I will try to participate in a few of those.
See yall around the forum!
