Hi from South Africa

Posted by Drifter on Thursday, April 11, 2013 9:52 AM

Hi Guys, been out of the hobby for about 30 years, and decided I need some "me" time, so picked it up again. My "start up" kit is a Academy 1:48 AH-64 Apache MISP. (What a horrible kit).

Hope to learn a lot on here, my skills are seriously lacking.

Welcome to the Forums and welcome back to the hobby. There are lots of great guys, and gals on here that are ready, willing, and able to help you with any questions/problems that you might have. I've been building for 66 of my 72 years and my skills are also/still seriously lacking. Wink But, I'm a glutton for punishment and I'm still here. Wink My name is Jim and I am a plasticaholic. I love the smell of plastic in the morning.

Sit back, relax, have a sip (or two) of your favorite beverage and have fun. Coffee

Main WIP:

On the Bench: Artesania Latina (aka) Artists in the Latrine 1/75 Bluenose II

I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.

Of course, it was only a matter of time before TomZ2 revealed himself to be an aspect of the Eternal Champion. I just hope he hasn't found Stormbringer yet.
