I was building kits pretty much up until I was 18 and then life got in the way. My first kit getting back into the hobby was a 1/48 Revell F-15E about 4 yrs ago. My wife loves that I have a hobby as it helps to 'dissolve' stress. It was also reading FSM at the Barnes and Noble that got me motivated to pick it up again. What a blast it's been since!

Never left modelling. I took a hiatus for about a year or two, then jumped back in. I can see myself doing this for the rest of my life.

I took an ethics class in college on the Holocaust  and that got me into WWII.  I remembered doing models as a kiddo, the Top Gun F14, an F16, P39, and a few dinosaurs, and I thought that would be a good, "cheap" way to spend the time between job interviews.  Welllll, the "cheap" part got me in the behind, but I got hooked!

I was out for 3 or 4 (5 or 6?) years. My girlfriend moved off to school, so I needed something to keep me busy during those long winter months Big Smile [:D] In the summer my cars take my $. Smile [:)]

I'm with you Rob,
I never left the hobby. Even through a 20+ year Military career and deployments on two oceans, I always had a model to build.
(well, maybe just look at!)
The bad thing about it was moving every four years or so, movers can really cut down on the built up kits, the good thing is now I have a huge amount of boxed "to do" kits.

I know it's only rock and roll, but I like it.

Never really left although there have been alot of times where modeling has been put on the back burner.
