Hello from the Buckeye State

Hi, my name is Don, I've just recently joined the forum and I really like what I've seen so far. My dad got me hooked on modeling when I was a kid, a long time ago. Over the past 10 years or so I haven't built many "plastic" models since I started building radio controlled aircraft in the early 90's. Those projects can really occupy your work bench for a long time. Also, balsa dust and airbrushing...not a good combination. Eventhough I haven't built much plastic lately I have, however, kept up with the journals, FSM since '84, IPMS, etc. and I joined a local club. From the looks of my closet, I'd better start building again. I think my kits are like rabbits, when the lights go out they've been multiplying. When I do get the plastic off a box it's 1/48 scale aircraft from golden age to modern, with a majority in the WWII era so far. I love the variety of subject matter. If its got wings...I'll build it. What I really enjoy is the relaxation the hobby provides, commraderie with fellow modelers, sharing techniques and admirering others finished projects. It's just plane fun. As I get going again I really want to improve my weathering skills. I admire those of you out there that have mastered this fine art. I always try to learn from each project but if I mess up...well there's another kit in the closet just waiting for some glue. I think I hear that P-38 calling my name or is it that Accurate Miniatures P-51A, decisions decisions. Happy modeling and have fun. Don
