New to me
Posted by newtome on Friday, May 31, 2013 5:54 PM

I'm new to fine scale modeling, although I have many years of experience in model railroading, primarily the building of craftsman structures (wooden).  I'm presently building a 1/35 scale Tamiya jeep.  I hope to learn much about fine scale modeling through the magazine and this forum.  As a way of introducing myself, I'm 72 years old, a widower, and a retired aerospace engineer (48 years experience).  It may seem strange, but I'm not too interested in aircraft models.

Welcome newtome!  I'm starting into armor myself.  I primarily do aircraft, Space, and Sci-fi.  So jump on in and have fun.  Doesn't matter what you build.....as long as you post pics! :)

Welcome to the Forums!! Glad to have you aboard! Glad to have another "Old Timer" here to help keep these young whippersnappers in line. I've been building for 66 of my 72 years. I build whatever strikes my fancy at the time.
