Randall, welcome to the Forums and welcome back to the hobby. Like you, I'm a "returnee", 54 year old lawyer from Kentucky. Did a lot of modeling when I was younger but drifted away from the hobby, probably about the time I discovered cars, girls and other diversions of that type. Should have stayed with modeling - it was a lot cheaper! LOL. Was away from the hobby for 30+ years and got back into it early this year after an injury. I was blown away by how far things have come.
What are your interests as far as subjects and scale? Myself, I'm a ship guy (occasional warplane) and build in 1/350 and larger - about all these aged eyes can stand. Mostly WW 2 USN and IJN ships. You'll get some great information here and there are some other forums on the net that are specific to various interests as well.
Welcome back and have fun!
Bob
