Starting Over
Posted by BTB on Sunday, June 7, 2009 1:02 PM

Hi  What I mean about "starting over" is that a long, long time ago, just a little after Revell started their company, I started making models. And I really got involved. Mainly aircraft but a couple of ships. As soon as I had enough saved from mowing lawns, down to the local drug store to pick out my next model. Then we moved overseas (my father was in the military) and there were no stores that carried models. Then along came girls, sports, and girls, and my model making to a long, long hiatus. There was high school and college and then the military. Then a family came along and there did not seem to be enough free-time to bring back my old hobby. But now, as I wind down a second career, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Retirement means free-time. You can play golf everyday and still have time for a hobby. That's why I'm getting back in to model making. But how things have changed and that's why I will need some help. I'm sure I came to the right place. Have a great day.
