New, just saying hi!

Welcome. I just gotten back into the hobby myself after 20 plus years. So far I've finished a 1/72nd scale F4U-! Corsair (whcih reminds me I have to post the pic on here later). I'm just about almost finished with a  1/48th scale P-47 Thunderbolt Razorback. The Corsair is already given to a co-worker of mine to show my appreciation for helping me with various things. The P-47 will go to my bro-in-law.

I still got more kits to work on - a P-51D Mustang Redtail (painting and decals) that will stay with me.

Others are:

B-52 Bomber with Rome, NY's Griffis AFB markings (my area)

A-10 Thunderbolt  (trying to remember wher I stashed it)

F-14 Tomcat  "Black Bunny"

'62 Chevy - partially built)

Toyota truck (unbuilt)

Sepcat Jaguar - this will be my junk kit to practice air-brushing and try out new decal applications

Skyraider(?) aircraft model I had bought at an antique show some years back

'57 Chevy Corvette Flip Nose by mpc

I've got a couple P-47 Thunderbolt kits (Razorback and Bubbletop) by Tamiya on hold at my local hobby shop.

Welcome to the Forum, Jeremy.

I stash, therefore i am.

Before you know it, they will be coming out of every corner.

You got that right!  I'm running out of room already!  I keep buying faster than I build!  Maybe I'll stop buying when I hit 300 (I'm at 288 now).......NAHHHHHHHHH!

Thanks Eagle, I'm hoping I'll go. I'd like to make a trip like that with someone to talk to so I'm seeing if I can wrangle a buddy to come along. Might even consider asking my wife, just not sure how much fun she'll have lol. My brother would come but of course that's the one time ever that he's decided to spend the weekend in RI with another friend and his wife.

Hey Timmy, you must have quite a stash, I've got my first Zero to completely finish, the A6M3 I just started and a bf109 I haven't got into yet. That's it for me but I can see how people's stashes get so big, I already have the itch to buy more kits; looking into them, reading up on other people's similar builds and going over the parts and imagining how to put it together is fun in itself, lol.

No problem.  I'm looking to have someone come with me too.......might need help carrying all the kits!

I'd like to bring the wife too, but don't think she would have much fun either.  She would be watching a 2 and 9 year old while I'm running around like a kid myself!  Hope to see you there!

Welcome !  Your only 29??? Man I have models in my stash older than you. LOL.  Have fun in the forums and    yes please post pictures of your builds !    As for questions...    I thought I could speed up assembly by mixing the glue with the paint.    But the result was..... well.....     Can you tell me where I went wrong????

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone :) Glad to see some friendly folks, makes settling in much easier!

I'll have to snap and upload some photos of the Zero. I just started an A6M3 also but I don't know how fast my initial progress will be. I don't have a compressor yet and I find $13.50 for a can of compressed air just a little offensive lol.

Richmond, VT is only a couple hours away from me so I may just go to that show... Would be exciting to check it out. I'll look around online but I'll ask real quick, does anyone have a link or additional info about it?

Thanks again everyone.

Hey Jeremy,  this is where I found it.

Great to have you here.  You should post some pics of the Zero, we all like pics!  Great bunch of folks here that are more than willing to pass on some advice, so ask away!  Look forward to seeing your builds!

Oh, there is a model show in Richmond, VT this weekend.  Not sure how far that is for you, but just in case you didn't know.

Welcome to the site, i am sure you will lve it here and find lots of great tips and ideas.

Look forwrad to seeing some pics.

Welcome to the forums Jeremy! Lots of good peeps here who don't mind having their brains picked when it comes to our hobby.

....and, as mentioned above, don't forget pics. We love 'em!

Welcome!

You've found the right place.  Don't forget to post pictures of your builds.

Welcome to the Hobby Jeremy. My name is Jim and I am a plasticaholic. I love the smell of plastic in the morning. I build whatever strikes my fancy when I see it. I have been building for 66 of my 72 years. Anything that they have made kits of, I have built. It's a great hobby to have if you want to spend some quality time with your son. I had 2 girls. Built dollhouses for them. Spent lots of time looking for fancy paper to wallpaper them with. Now you can print up your own. I have one grandson that is interested in watching me work and asks lots of questions but isn't ready to build, yet. He's into Soccer now and he's very good. I spend lots of time going to watch him play. One day, before he discovers girls, I might see him actually build something. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the hobby (even though it does get frustrating some time). If you need help, just ask and someone will get back to you with the answer you need or let you know where to go to get it. Again, welcome aboard.

Jim
