Just getting started again!

Posted by F105nut711 on Saturday, February 2, 2013 7:38 PM

Good evening hobby fans. My name is Joshua. I am Just getting back into serous model building. Mostly military aviation. HUGE fan of Republic's outstanding line of planes.
Some cars, 60's muscle and any era of Indy. Big history nut also. Who isn't when we recapture the past in miniature! Anyway looking forward to getting back into the hobby with my 11 year old son.

Welcome Sign Glad to have you on board. You join a long line of guys coming back into the hobby. Look forward to seeing your builds and don't be afraid to ask questions, people are often amazed at how much the hobby has changed since that last glued some plastic.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Welcome to the Forums Joshua. There are lots of knowledgeable guys, and gals, on here that are ready, willing, and able to help you with any questions/problems that you might have. The only thing we ask is that you post pics of your builds. That will make us very happy.

Welcome! today we will attempt to re-abilitate this poor unfortunate "plastic addict" by throwing a 1/72 scale Revell sub into his padded cell. I'm keeping the glue in my pocket. Will he notice?

Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"
