Hello,
I built plastic scale models during my youth. Mostly WWII aircraft and ship. I built them mostly to play with, not to display. I grew up in the late 60's and 70's and WWII fascinated my friends and me. I eventually grew out of the hobby and proceeded with life. Now in my mid fifties I fondly remember the fun I had with the kits. I'm able now to relax a bit and re-enter the hobby now with the means to do it right. I built the Connie when I was 12 or 13 and did what I thought at the time was a decent job however now I realize it was pretty sad. That original model has long been scuttled and I intend to rebuild it and do a much better job. I hope to journal the process here on this forum and receive tips and advice on how to best do things and to ask questions. There will be questions! Thanks for the opportunity to do this and thanks in advance for all your expert advice. I have been visiting this site for a week or so and I'm impressed with its content. The kit should arrive today. I have readied a suitable work area and have bought what I hope is enough tools and equipment to begin. I have promised myself that I will take my time and do things well. My wife is very supportive which does help! So Here I go... I will update this thread as a progress. Please do not hesitate to add constructive criticism anytime it is necessary, I am always receptive to people better at something than me. With all of this said, and sorry for the rambling....Let's begin this journey...
Thanks
DougA
