Re-sparking my child-hood interest, Hello from Northern Va!

Posted by KillinMeSmalls on Thursday, August 6, 2015 1:40 PM

Hello modelers! My name is Nick. I am 25 and reside in the NoVa area. I had a stint as a kid in building plastic models, mostly military aircraft. I grew an army Brat lol so ive attempted to build my fair share of revell and italeri kits since I was 8 although my skills could leave something to be desired (an airbrush comes to mind lol). As im sure you could guess my kits did not come out so well, so now here I am 15 years later looking to get back into the hobby I tried to love soo much! I am currently working on a Revell P-51D mustang and I now have the pleasure of using an airbrush among a few other handy tools I did not have as a kid. I will post pics and build threads as soon as I figure out how the forum works.

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

The FineScaleModeler forum can cause double vision, urinary tract infections, firehose diarrhea, projectile vomiting, cramps, muscle spasms, lung congestion, hives, hemorrhoids, suicidal thoughts, and paranoid delusions. You have nothing to worry about, but rest assured FSM research is doing everything it can to put an end to that. Howdy!

Occasional factual, grammatical, or spelling variations are inherent to this thesis and should not be considered as defects, as they enhance the individuality and character of this document.

ROFLMAO! I think you forgot the effect on your wallet. Stocking up on Vallejo paints for my Hobbycraft Bell YP-59A, I think I spent more on the paints than I did on the kit! Who'd have thought????
