Herr Flick, Let me extend a hardy Welcome to you. I can relate to your story all too well. For me, modeling is a bit more than just a hobby it truly is a means for me to maintain my serenity and sanity (Which, by the way, is not a term often associated with most of the folks here). The people here have definitely enhanced the pure fun this hobby brings. So please, jump right in and ask questions, be active in the discussions, share pictures and join in on a group build. You are certainly In the right place.

Good day Gentlemen ;This is my first time joining a blog site,when I was last doing any modeling ther was no such thing as the web!Well I going to try to make a long strange story a little shorter and not so weird.25 plus years ago I was doing a lot of 1/35 scale,armouir and soft skin,well I sstarted working at a large concrete plant and slowly over 20 yesars I lost my love of the hobby,for that matter I lost interest in everything I held dear.Well,3 years ago I managed to exscape that hellish life.I started doing folkart and did some pickinking on the side.Now in March of 2012 I bought a gentlemans assort5ment of unopened model,in hopes to resell.there were mostly car models but he did have to ship model,the Missuori and the Prince of wales.Well,after months of pondering whether to do one of the ships(which I have never done before)I openened up the PO model and got at it,I even put it into a diorama.I got the bug again and proceded right away with the purchase of a Dragon 1/35 V1.I didn't know the only rail system kit cost over $200 US.

So presently I'm scratch building one,and when I learn how to put on pictures you'll see them.Coming out of retiement is leaving with a lot of question  about the next few projects I want to tackle,hope you fellows can help me out.Thanks for letting me be involved,and I hope it's going to be fun,and to learn a bunch of new tricks.
