Greetings from Houston, where we are currently shoveling out from under mounds of tree pollen.
I am a (yet another) returning modeler. 50 years old, started when I was about 8. Back then I was only into the space program models (Saturn V, command module, lunar lander): boy were those fun! Tried a little bit of all kinds of kits the next 5 years or so (ships, armor, cars, aircraft....). Settled into primarily aircraft and autos by late teens. Since then I've picked it back up a few times. Last kits I did were 48th scale about 6 years ago, both WWII aircraft.
Currently have a stash of 5 aircraft kits, a snap-tite space shuttle, a Shelby Cobra, and a Yamaha MotoGP bike. Think I've chosen the Tamiya 1/48th Japanese Dinah as the first one to get back in. I don't have a dedicated bench, but a big ol' desk in my study will serve part-time duty just fine. Still have a fair set of tools, and most of my paint inventory is still functional. Don't have an airbrush, so may ask Santa for one.
This should be a lot of fun! Looking forward to sponging up a bunch of the great body of knowledge that is resident here.
