New "again"
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, October 19, 2007 10:05 AM

Like "dirtball" I'm back into modeling (aircraft, especially WW II) after many years of stashing models on my shelf and thinking, "someday".........  Well, I'm retired, and have some spare time, so maybe someday is now.  I'm simply experimenting with some simpler models, working with weathering, airbrushing, making my own decals (see my separate post on that!!), etc.  It seems a lot different than when I slapped a model together 50 years ago, but then, much of it is the same.  No doubt there are some really sophisticated and talented modelers (artists??) out there.  I'll be happy if I can just get back into building and enjoying it like I did decades ago.  I live in NC, btw.

Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the forums! You are certainly in the right place! After 15 years of being away from the hobby, i had noticed an awful lot had changed in my absence, so i can only imagine how different it is for you now. But you have lots of guys here that are really good, and are more than happy to share ideas and techniques with you. I've learned an awful lot since i've been here, and i'm sure that you'll have a great time here too!

I recommend checking out the group builds here, and maybe getting involved in a few. It's the best way to get involved, have fun, and even learn a few things. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the builds ya got as they progress. Again, welcome to the forums!

Warmest regards,

Roger
