My how things have changed! Hi, my name is Don and the last time I worked on a model was about thirty years ago. It's not that I lost a liking for the hobby, just that life got in the way (raising family, other interests etc). Now that I'm retired and not well enough to do too much else right now, I finally dug out that old 1:25 scale Tamiya Centurion tank. This is the model I abandoned so long ago.
I remember being frustrated with the painting of the model. Tamiya's instructions didn't give a lot of advise. And the parts are not all labelled well. Now, with the Internet, you can find lots of information. I think that's how I got to this site. Anyway I guess I don't have an interest in any one type of modeling. But I do have an interest in military stuff such as submarines and fighter aircraft. In real life I started out as a draftsman and continued to do that kind of stuff off and on as a Engineering Technician. But what I always wanted to do is make architectural models from scratch.Did it once with a group of friends - lots of fun.
By the way, in sorting thru my model paints (enamels and acrylics), about half of them are still OK.
