Hello all
Posted by SRVFan on Tuesday, March 1, 2011 7:39 PM

My name is Roger, I'm a Stevie Ray Vaughan fan, and I'm from Kansas and new to the forum. I could just copy and paste some of the other intros here. I'm amazed at how many have the same story,"Returned to modeling after x amount of years" Same story here. Last model I built was a funny car when I was 16. That was 36 years ago.

My supervisor is a master modeler, and we talk models on occasion, and I finally wanted to build again. I just completed a PM 1/72 AT-11 due to my neighbor that was a flight chief on them at Victorville Army Air Force Base in Victorville, CA from 1942-1945. And I must say, I learned a lot from this build! Like, DRY FIT!!!! LOL But man.....what fun! I've really missed it.

I've picked up a single action Paasche H series air brush, a good mix of Testors,Model Masters, and Humbrol enamels, a desk for a work station, and various other supplies including a good selection of kits. I've also subscribed to FSM and signed up here. I can't believe how much information is available for modelers now. It's really cool, and looks like a lot of good people here that are willing to help.

So, although I could ramble on for a while, I suppose that's it for now. I'm looking forward to participating in the forums, and any advice or comments would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Roger Perdue

Glad to have you in the forums and welcome back to the hobby. Yes, a lot has changed in 36 years.....  and, this media holds a wealth of information,,  lots of great modellers who are willing to help.
