                        Hi all!  

                        Like many others here, I am returning to modeling after 20+ years away from it. I recently completed a P-47 for my son and really enjoyed it. It didn't come out as well as I had hoped. Actually it was pretty much as I left off in 1991. I am hoping to really use modeling as a fun way to keep my brain engaged, have some quiet time, and show my son how one can be creative.

                        I hope I can glean some knowledge and wisdom from you all.

                         

                        Thanks.

                        Thanks for the warm welcome, all.  My interests lie, like many of you, in military aircraft and armor.  But I enjoy everything and am working on a couple of cars now. I want to show my son that there is more to life than things that go BOOM!  But, things that go boom definitely have their place.  :)  I am starting a Trumpter 1978 Chevy Monte Carlo kit now and feel a tad overwhelmed, since I am chasing down paints and what not. But i guess its part of the fun.

                        Thanks again!
