                        50 year old kid back into modeling
                        Posted by bobheck on Friday, March 7, 2014 8:34 PM

                        Hello!

                        I am a 50 year old man ready to get back into modeling.  I was quite the modeler when I was a youngster. Have not touched a model in over 30 years.   But, I just ordered a Revell P-51C and paint and I am ready to get back into something I really loved.  Looking forward to reading the forums and learning all I can.

                        Thank you

                        Bob Heck

                        Glad to have you Bob!  You'll find that there are a lot of us guys who have come back to modeling after being away for many years.  This is a great place full of experienced builders, newbies, and every stage in between.  You'll be happy here.
