Hello From TX - Bit by the modeling bug!

Posted by SteveA on Thursday, January 25, 2007 6:49 PM

Hello from Quinlan, TX. After 30 years, I have been bit hard by the model bug. So much has changed that I find it almost overwhelming at times.

I hope to shed the cob webs and learn from the many tips, wisdom and how-to's presented on these forums. Look forward to many conversations with you all.

Regards to all,

Steve

Thank you for the warm reception.

It is good to be around others who have turned model building into an art form. Last model I touched was when I was 13. Then, it seemed all my friends thought I was nuts running to the local library on the weekends to see the model shows.

I doubt I will ever come close to some of the work I have seen here but I figure if I want to improve, what better mentors.

I am currently experimenting on a dml Tiger, a RM Nascar kit, and the RM B-25J. So far I am enjoying them all and learning from my many mistakes. Next investment is a magnifying visor of some sorts. Eyes no longer have what it takes

Regards to all,

Steve
