                        Hey all just want to say hello. I am yet another person that has returned to model building after a 30 plus year hiatus. I seem to see a lot of others out there like me. Been enjoying relearning old tricks and learning new ones. I am currently just focusing on military aircraft as I start back into this great hobby.

                        Welcome TickMagnet.

                          Would this mean a walk-in-the-woods is a challenging activity?  You will need some magnifying glasses for modeling work but something tells me you probably have a pair...

                        All kidding aside, the Aircraft, Civil Aircraft and Helicopter forms are huge.  You'll find plenty to keep you interested and on the right track.

                        Hi;

                         Isn't it funny ? Uncle kept me away for almost twenty and sure enough , when I got home , the first hobby related thing was acquiring all new tools and building the " Minot's Light " Sailing ketch .

                         Welcome back to the community .
