Back In The Game!

Welcome aboard!

Welcome to the forums 

Boy are you about to enter a whole new world with aftermarket and photo etch. That and some new weathering techniques will rock your world. You'll look at your finished project and ask yourself "I made that?"

Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you aboard!

You've come to the right place. I've built models for 70 of my 76 years and built whatever struck my fancy and the wallet said OK. When younger, I put a few ships at the bottom of the creek with m80s and had stick & tissue planes disappear when flown off the cliff and exploded. My favorites are WWI & WWII aircraft and Sailing Ships as you can see by my avatar. 

Enjoy.

Welcome Caddmann!

Building models is like a social disease:  Once you get it in your system, you can never get rid of it.  Ha-ha-ha!  So what kind of models do you prefer?  Aircraft?  Sci-fi?  Armor?  Vehicles?  Helos?  Ships?  A bit of everything?

I wonder what percentage of we model builders have destroyed our kits back in our younger days.  Lord knows many of mine ended up as tiny little chunks scattered on the lawn after my brother and I stuffed them with fireworks.  It's funny.  I'd never do that now but MAN! were those some fun days!

Welcome again to this wonderful forum!  Nobody here cares how "simple" the question might be!  We all love answering them and helping out.  No matter how old you are or how long you've been at the hobby, you always learn something new every time.

Best wishes,

Eric

 

Thanks guys for the welcome! I read a few other postings and my situation seems to be a common theme. Life's issues come first, then the true love of the hobby comes second. Such is life.

I prefer planes from WW1 to the modern era.  It just depends on what catches my eye.  I build with plastic, but will occasionally build a balsa kit.  I also like the paper kits, and at this time I have more paper planes than plastic. 

In some instances I will build tanks.  Something about all those massive heavy mobile vehicles smashing through obstacles that astounds me.  I am easily amused.

Again thanks for the welcome.
