Hello all,
I haven't built a model since I was a teenager (which was longer ago than I care to think about), and I wasn't necessarily all that good at it then. (Mostly too impatient, and also far too impoverished to buy the proper equipment.) But I recently stumbled across some old, unbuilt kits I bought at one point or another — an F-4U-1 (1/72) from Testors, a Queen Anne's Revenge (1/250) by LIndberg, and some others — and I couldn't bring myself to just sell them on eBay. Somehow, it seemed to me that it would've felt like some kind of surrender, if you know what I mean.
So now I'm hunting for new paints and brushes and such; and above all, some of the technical knowledge that I never had back when I was a teen. That hunt led me to Fine Scale Modeler, and of course then to this forum.
So again: Hello all. Hajimemashite, yoroshiku onegai shimasu, and all that.
