getting back into the hobby
Posted by Blaine Vanderwell on Tuesday, December 11, 2012 12:26 PM

Hello Everyone;

I have always enjoyed building scale models But I never had the finacial freedom to expand on this hobby.Now I have the money and there is so much that has changed and so many new techniques and applications. I enjoy building 1/24 scale car models but...not many new kits out there.

Anyway I will be posting more discussions and I have a lot of questions that I hope to find answers too..

Welcome to the Forums Blaine. There are many great guys, and gals, out there that are ready, willing, and able to help you with any questions and/or problems. There is only one problem, they like to see lots and lots of photos. Wink

Welcome Sign Modelling is an obsession, an occupation, a disease, an addiction,
a fascination, an absurdity, a fate.  It is not a weak mind’s hobby.  Those
who do it must do it.  Those who do not do it,  think of it as a  cousin of
stamp collecting,  a sister of the trophy cabinet,  and [dinkywongo]  of a
sound bank account.
