                        Hey everybody,

                        Just getting into models, like most of what i've read, did models as a kid, quite a hiatus, and now I'm pushing 30 and getting back into it. Trying to get the oldest son into it but he's still not interested...yet

                        Happy modeling

                        Jason

                        Welcome aboard Jason,

                        You will find that there are a lot of great people in here....so don't hesitate to reach out. There are many forums so roll up your sleeves and jump in. As for your son, he'll come around at some point. Wait until you build your first diorama.....he'll be interested.

                        Welcome to the Forums, some real kit advancements in last few years.

                        Tell son it's models or ballet lessons, let us know how that goes. Good to have you with us, hope son eventually as well.

                        Welcome to the forums, Jason!

                        Your son will come around. My 10yo will work for a couple weeks on models, then do video games, or play sports for a few weeks. Then comes back to models for a while, but, he always seems to come back to them.

                        Looking forward to some pictures of your builds!

                        Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I know he'll enjoy them once he gets the skills he needs. I'm enjoying my first build in a long while, Revells 1/48 P-51D. Trying to figure out work flow, techniques, and then I want to experiment with a couple painting techniques (washes has me most curious)
