Back Where I Belong...
Hi all. I was an avid modeller as a teen and ***. Mom had a membership for me in the "Model of the month club" (yes it was a thing). I remember building everything from Viking Ships to V-2 rockets and cars to cannons. I didn't care what the subject was as long as I was building.
Like many, as I got older, my model building interest started to fade. Girls, high school sports, video games and a part-time job to pay for the aforementioned got in the way...
I just didn't have the same passion for the hobby as I once had.
Fast-forward to University and a friend of mine showed me his collection of WW II Allied kits and "built models". I got the bug again and started reading FSM and buying Tamiya armour kits. I realized I had the model builder "bug" again! So during my University years I built a few kits (nothing like the production of my early years) and enjoyed myself.
However, I started to amass quite a collection of unbuilt kits!
When I graduated and entered the work force my hobby time dwindled and I found myself buying more kits and building less...
Marriage and a house only contributed to have less hobby time...
Well fast forward to now. I still have those unbuilt kits but more hobby time! I have been "lurking" on some model building sites including FSM and am ready to enter the "build phase" of the hobby again!
Do I have questions?
Many! I hope I don't bore too many of you with them :)
