Hi everyone! I started building models when my dad got me hooked when I was in second or third grade.  I took a bit of a break when I graduated high school and spent five and a half years in the Army.  After getting out in 2005 and getting married, I finally got back into models about five years ago when I decided I needed to start building kits in my ever-growing stash.  My interests are kind of all over the place with 1/48 and 1/32 WWII to modern aircraft, 1/35 armor, and sci-fi.  

On my bench: Academy 1/35 UH-60L Black Hawk

Welcome silentbob!  You are in good company.  Most of our stories are similar to yours.  I did 21 years in the Air Force, never built any kits, just kept buying them!  Now, I have over 445 to work on!  Great assortment of genres too.  I'm the same way.  Mostly aircraft and sci-fi/real space, but have dove into some armor, and figures recently.  Be sure to pop in to a Group Build.  It's a great way to learn some new stuff from the folks on the forums.  Lots of great folks with lots of knowledge!

Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you aboard!

I've been building for 67 of my 73 years and I build whatever strikes my fancy at the time.
