New to Hobby

After 30 years I'm back into modeling. I'm hoping to get many tips and suggestions on this forum. Looking forward to it.

Welcome, Alfonso. I had basically the same intro ~4 months ago. There are so many getting back into the hobby after a multi-year break... I think you'll find a great community here with a wealth of knowledge and support.

What type of models do you build?

I've just started building my first, M109 E3 1/48 scale Tamiya. Just moved so trying to go through a multitude of boxes looking for my airbrushes and compressor...lol. I'm also doing a lot of R&D right now learning about weathering techniques, washes, proper decal techniques, etc.....
