Back in the Hobby
Posted by JimHarley on Friday, October 25, 2019 2:40 AM

Hey all. Last year I took the plunge and started building up a new stash of kits. It;s been around 25-30 years since I've built anything. My dad and grandfather got me started around 5-6 years old and that snowballed into R/C flying and eventually full scale flying. I went to an IPMS show last year and got the bug again. I dug out an old Williams Brothers Laird Super solution and went at it...a lot has changed in the hobby and it's been a fun journey re-learning, and learning new techniques. Fine Scale modeler and Air Classics were always the go to magazines for years...the internet has really opened a lot of doors beyond those days.

Hi Jim! Welcome to the Forums and welcome back to the hobby. 

You've come to the right place. Many of the members got here the same way you did. They are very knowledgeable and ready to help with any questions/problems that you might have. Don't be afraid to ask. That's what we're here for.

My uncles started me building in 1946 and I've never stopped. Favorites are WWI & WWII planes followed closely by Sailing Ships. Also did the R/c planes, cars and sailboats and lots of other hobbies.The wife likes the idea that she knows where I am and what I'm doing and it's OK with her.

Soooooooooo, sit back, have a sip of your favorite brew whether it be CoffeeBeerDrinks or my favorite Toast and build away. Post pics of your builds (that's what keeps the guys happy). Enjoy.
