                        Hi Jerry! Welcome to the Forums. Glad to have you with us.

                        I'm one of the old timers on here. Started building at 6 (1946) and never stopped. Did all the other hobbies also along the way also. Was into soaring and also R/C sailboats too. Raced up and down the east coast for about 10 years. Did the model building at the same time. 

                        Great bunch of people here that are very knowledgeable and ready to help out with any questions or problems. Don't be afraid to ask for help. They don't bite, but will give you constructive criticism if you ask for it.

                        Enjoy.

                        I keep hitting "escape", but I'm still here.

                        Hi Jerry. Like you I am new to the site and have recently returned to modelling. You have made a good decision in joining. I have only been a member for a very short time, but I can vouch for the friendly atmosphere and the willingness to share skills and knowledge. Enjoy!

                        I long to live in a world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned

                        Hi all, like everyone I assembled kits as a boy - didn't paint.  Spent 20 years in RC soaring.

                        Now in retirement am returning to plastic modeling. This time around would like to take it more seriously so invested in airbrush and some tools.

                        I'm hoping to connect with folks here to inspire, encourage and tutor me a bit.  

                        Thanks,  

                        Jerry
