Thanks for the welcomes, guys. Now that I have the time, $$ and inclination, I'm back into model building. But I have to say... seeing the level of quality and detail that many people put into their kits is quite daunting. I hope that I might achieve half of their skills someday...
Now, back to the workbench because these things don't build themselves...if I could only get a robot to drone through the tedious road wheel painting and track linking processes.
PS- have you ever noticed that if you leave two unbuilt kits alone in the dark for two months they mysteriously mate and make other kits? Sorta like coat hangers and rabbits...
