Greetings - picking up the hobby after 20 years
Posted by hankinstien on Thursday, June 18, 2015 12:47 PM

Greetings everyone!

The last time I built a model I was probably about 11 or 12 years old. Now I'm in my 30s and thought I'd pick it back up. I've been reading through the old forum posts here and it's been really helpful so far. Hopefully I'll have some builds to show off pretty soon.

Thanks,

Welcome aboard.

What do you enjoy building?

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Thanks everyone! I'm mostly an aircraft guy, I specifically like jet-age fighters. I might have to indulge in some Star Trek stuff too.

I actually wrote my Master's Thesis on the F-4 Phantom, and when it was completed, my sister bought me the Revell F-4 kit as a present, so I thought it'd be a good time to get back into it.

I kindof want to "save it," though, for when I get some better skills. Maybe eventually I could build a mock up of Randy Cunningham's plane, or Robin Olds'.

In the meantime, I just found an A-7 Corsair II on clearance at the hobby shop, so I thought it'd be a good one to practice on. Any advice would be welcome!

All yous gota do is ask my man. When you want to ask a question or show a build (finished or WIP), just start a new thread in the appropriate forum and off you go.
