Hi,

Greetings to all.

I am Dwight Ta-ala. I am an old member here (since 2003?) and I was quite active until maybe around 2008. I am just an ordinary OOTB builder doing mostly armor and some dioramas.

I got busy in other aspects of life and have to leave the hobby. Although, I would scan the forum from time to time, I rarely participated in the past 10 years.

Lately, I was getting some free time for myself. So, I decided to get back into the bench and the hobby. I started browsing the forum lately. However, I had a hard time signing in to my old account so I made a new one. I am not sure if the Administrators can help me revive my old account but I would appreciate it if they can.

Anyway, I would just like to say hello to everyone.

Welcome back to the hobby and to the forum!

As far as your old account goes, it might not be possible.  We had an issue a couple of years ago, I don't remember the exact cause, but I know that some users' existing accounts and logins were made invalid, and the resolution for them was just to create new user accounts.  You can ask in the Technical Assistance forum, but I doubt that they'll be able to do anything.

In the meantime, I look forward to seeing your new builds!

Best regards,

Brad

Welcome back!  You'll find a lot of new manufacturers from paint to kits - the golden age of scale modeling :)

Thanks,

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.

 

I guess I know now why I had a hard time logging in using my old account. Started sorting out my tools, paints and kits last weekend and found out that I need to buy new paints. Looks like a trip to the hobby shop next weekend is necessary. 

 

Anyway, thanks again everyone for taking the time to reply to my post.

Hi!I live in a small North Donez, UA and suddenly during the covid19 quarantine I discovered a Mazda with Texas numbers. I wish I could ride it to Texas!

Welcome back Dwight. I'm new to the forums but I'm really enjoying them. I also build armour and look forward to seeing some of your work.
