The last time I completed a kit was Jan 2018,I don't anticipate getting back to the bench until at least July or August.With the house being built,moving in,and finally setting up a work area I will be busy for awhile.
So,how do you think it will be,will I be a basket case,acting like I never held a #11 in my hands before,knocking over paint jars,dropping stuff,and making a general mess of things.
Or is it like riding a bike just get back on again and it will all come back to me like I never stopped.
I plan to start on something simple from the stash,Tamiya or the like,probably armor,before I dive into something complex.Should prove interesting.
It'll be like riding a bike. Having been away from the hobby for 20 plus years, i never lost my ability in building & painting. Just noticed new stuff nothing more.
Only a year break? You’ll be fine.
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

I had a similar think a few years ago, but every thing came back right away. So you should be fine.
Agreed. My last break was about 15 yrs. You're not going to forget anything. You'll ever remember how to curse when you mess up.

Lol... this is me every day. I managed to knock over my tamiya thin cement un-knock-overable bottle over the weekend and destroyed my cutting mat. Lost a speed brake piston on my f86. Just put a glue smudge on my t28 canopy that will take an hour to polish out, and I'd like to meet the guy who designed the tall skinny microset/microsol containers... my real hobby is addressing my blunders ;)
Thanks,

I took an almost five year break. For me it was like riding a bike. I was surprised I still remembered all of the Tamiya paint bottle numbers.
I haven't finished a kit in almost 6 years. I've done little building, but am hoping to get some of my shelf -queens finished. However, some of my newest purchases are calling my name. I just hope I can recall my weathering techniques. I wasn't able to duplicate whatever I did to my Jagdtiger.

That was a gem indeed
You'll be fine Tojo. You might be a little slow starting off though.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

LOL at this
We’re lucky they aren’t tapered bottles, with narrow end at the bottom

Thanks Anthony, I appreciate that. There are a few things I would do over (who doesn't say that?), but I really liked the finish on it. Almost a perfect build to me in my rose-colored glasses. LOL
