Introduction
Posted by PTCmodeler on Tuesday, December 20, 2005 11:05 PM

I thought I would take a moment and introduce myself.  My name is Paul and I live in Peachtree City, GA which is just south of Atlanta.  I have been checking out the forum a couple months now without posting, so I thought it would be good time to jump into the game. 

 

I am returning to modeling after about a twenty year leave of absence.  My ten year son wanted to start building models.  It didn’t take a lot for him to talk me into starting this hobby again.  I thought it was really cool that he wanted to give modeling a try.  So, we are both jumping in feet first.  We are in the process of making a work area in the garage and building a good supply of kits.  We are doing a little bit of everything: sci-fi, space, ships, figures, autos, and airplanes.  He is a big Star Wars fan so we have a lot of Star Wars kits to build.

 

We both have a lot to learn about modeling but we are having a lot of fun.  I hope I can keep him interested in this hobby so he can enjoy as much as I do.

Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the forums! Pull up a keyboard and stay a while.

My story is very similar, 11 yr old son, 22 yr absence. I hope you both have many years of building together ahead of you!

So long folks!
