Hello, from Parma, Ohio

Nice to have you on board. You are not alone in coming back to the hobby after a break. And ask away.

Thanks,  I do have a backlog of kits that I have purchased and aquired over the years.  Some sill still have to wait till I am more comfortable and competent.

You will find a lot of us have a nice healthy stash hidden away some where. And this is a great place to learn, my modelling has come on leaps and bounds the last 4 years.

HEAR ME, MY MINIONS AND OBEY!

Welcome!  I feel we should play "Moon Over Parma", to welcome you

Hey!, I resemble that! (barmy)  Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome! How do you have " blurring of speach"?

Hi Chuck, I used to live on Stumph Road in Parma Heights.  I even remember when there was a Suadron Shop on Pearl Road in Parma.  As a matter of fact, that first visit  to the Sauadron Shop is what got me into this hobby.  I was blown away by the finished models they had on display there.  I'm showing my age because that was back in the mid 1970's.  

Hi dmaastr, I have lived in Parma for most of my life (all but ten years)  One of my favorite hobby shops was National Hobby on Ridge near Brookpark.  I even worked a summer at Cleveland Hobby Supply in North Royalton.  I do not remember the Squadron Shop in Parma.  It could have come and gone while I was in the Air Force.  I now work in Parma Hts.  Do you still live in the area?

I don't remember the Squadron Shop either.  I do remember National Hobby but my favorite was Hobby Castle in Rocky River.  The old store front with the creaky wooden floors and models stacked from the floor to ceiling.  The good old days..........
