Hello, from a young modeler
Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, February 8, 2003 3:56 AM
I'm wondering if there any modelers still in their teens. I am not that new to the hobby, i have been at it since I was 9.

Your our future..!!! Be proud in what you do.Time flies when you enjoy what you are doing. It seems like yesterday that I started. My father (20yr Naval aviator) got me hooked when I was 7. 18yrs passed and it's still going strong.
Remember one thing : If you ever get upset or frustrated when building,
Just WALK AWAY and relax cause it will be there when you return. Happy modeling. Flaps up , Mike

I'm turning 16 in 10 days. Does that qualify?

I've been building for a while now, off and on. I typically do 1/35 WW2 armor (esp. German), but I'm taking a break from my King Tiger and working on a 1/48 Dewoitine D.520.

You never specified if you mean physical age or emotional state, I'm heading into my 40's but sometimes I still think I'm 18, I've always said 'old enough to know better but young enough to want to do it again'Wink [;)]
been modeling off and on ever since I can remember. Welcome to all the young modelers coming in it shows there is a future for the hobby.
