Welcome back to the hobby GS45570!
I retired two years ago and have started back in modeling more or less full time now. This is an excellent site for getting your questions answered or when you're seeking advice. I also like to revisit the models from my youth, the late sixties to mid seventies, until girls, cars, sports, and a job intervened. My favorites from back then are the Revell, Monogram, and Aurora kits. Thank goodness that Atlantis is bringing some of these kits back into production.

Should anyone see this, please let me know is my effort was successful...
Welcome back to the bench,and the forum.
I am not able to open your links.
Welcome back to the hobby and welcome to the forum, Nick!
Yeah, unfortunately, I can't see your photos, either. If I click the links in your most recent post, the browser takes me to Google but throws off error 404, which is "page not found". The browser can't understand the link, so it can't open the page successfully.
If you have a look in the Technical Assistance forum:
https://cs.finescale.com/fsm/feedback_help_and_testing/f/22.aspx
you'll find a lot of suggestions on posting photos in the forum.
I use the host site Postimage, so I can't really help you with Google.
But I look forward to seeing your builds!
Best regards,
Brad

GS45570 Dug a little deeper, and apparently Google Photos only shares with individuals. So, per recommendations, I created a postimage account. Trying again… https://postimg.cc/8FLF07ZG https://postimg.cc/34Bk3PMb https://postimg.cc/Pv5PJ2Tf Nick
Excellent, Nick! I can click and see your pictures just fine!
If I may offer a tip about sharing pics out of Postimage, when you click to share, and get a little window with different links you could use, I suggest using "Hotlink for forums" selection.
Then you can paste that link into a post in any forum, and that forum should return the image and show it in your post.
Here's an example, using "Hotlink for forums":
(that's a 1/1200 USS Yorktown (CV-5) in her original livery, by the way)
I look forward to seeing more of your builds now!
Many thanks! I was hoping for a way to post "thumbnails" Trying the "hot link..."
This may be a better representation of some of the "real work:"
I built it as a 40th birthday present for a fellow Buick friend. It is a model of his car, shown here with a photo of the "prototype." Regarding the Yorktown-- might this just be coincidence, or did you see that I am diving into the deep end with a "slightly" larger Yorktown...? LOL!

Nice!
Yeah, I saw your thread for your 1/200th Yorktown, that's nuts! I don't have the room to display a 1/200 scale ship, even if I ever finished one.
That one is the Revell/ESCI/Casadio "wargame"-scale kit. It's still available on the market now, boxed as each of the Yorktowns at various times, with 16 B-25s for the Hornet and Doolittle's raiders.
I have a stash of 1/1200 kits for quick builds for fun, but I also have the Yorktowns in 1/700 from the "Waterline series" of the Japanese companies. I like 1/700 because I can display the finished models more easily, and I can still put some nice details into them.
I look forward to seeing your progress on that project!
Welcome back Nick, I'm in a similar situation and you'll find there's a lot to catch up on. Lots of help and friendship here to ease the journey.

Thanks, Dodgy! With this "new world" including 3-d printing, I have a HS friend who has one, and has expressed interest in helping...!!! :)

Wow! 3D printing! I'm still trying to come to terms with all the new paints and techniques! Good luck mate!
