Retired in Saint Louis Missouri

Posted by Latigo on Sunday, June 12, 2011 10:27 PM

Finally have time on my hands, after 35 years in the computer industry, and raising three great kids.

I haven't built a plastic model in over fifty years, and I'm sure things have changed drastically. My last model was a 1932 Ford "Vicky" with racing slicks on the rear.

So, I think I'm starting easy with a M1A1 1/35 tank by Italeri. I think maybe eventually I would enjoy dioramas.

I know there aint no such thing as a stupid question, but I guarantee I will test that theory.

Looking forward to learning from you o'l pro's and thanking you in advance.

Steve

“Enter freely and of your own will…” said a strange voice as though not used to human speech. (We’re all a little mad here.)

Occasional factual, grammatical, or spelling variations are inherent to this thesis and should not be considered as defects, as they enhance the individuality and character of this document.

Welcome to the forums Steve. There are a few good hobby shops in your area. If you have not been there try CRM hobbies on Eichelberger Street a look. They have a huge selection of stuff. Also try Mark Twain Hobbie on West Clay Street in Saint Charles, or even Schaffer Hobbies on Graviois by Grants Farm a visit.

Post some pictures when you build something...we love pictures.
