                        FNG, getting back into modeling after being absent for 40 years.  Things have changed :-).  My hands don't work as well, but I have better tools and more patience, so I guess it's a wash.

                        Like modern aircraft and realspace, but am enjoying building almost anything.  Pleasure to be among you -

                        Welcome!  Pull up a chair and take your shoes off.

                        You will find a lot of modelers from Texas, it being such a large place.  I too started modeling again after over 40 years just a couple of years ago.

                        I'm originally from Birmingham, Alabama, but moved out here to Longview for work.

                        Welcome to the Forums shakytex! Glad to have you aboard!

                        I've been building for 67 of my 73 years and my hands are getting worse and so are my eyes. I just build a lot slower and use good magnifiers.

                        Hang in there.

                         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.
