As a kid, my reason for making models was to shoot them up with a BB gun or blow them up with firecrackers. However, I also remember my Dad's WWII and Korean War era aircraft models hanging from the ceiling in my bedroom.
I recently returned to the world of model making after many years. Even though I now own more powerful weapons than a BB gun; I plan to preserve and display any models I make from here on out.
Many advances have been made over the years, and I have a lot to learn. Having read through a number of the forum entries I have found the participants to be quite helpful to those who are learning. I am looking forward to my experiences with Fine Scale Modeler.
I must say that I am disappointed at being unable to find a decent local hobby shop. But thanks to internet technology, I am developing quite a favorites file for online suppliers.
