Hello,
I am returning to modeling after a 27 year hiatus. I modeled a great deal as a child and young teen, but around 15 girls took over my interest, and after that real life arrived and I "hit the ground running." I am in my 40's now, mature family, and enough spare money and time to devote to serious modelling again.
I found two 1:48 Scale (the only scale I work in) Bomber kits at an estate sale for cheap, and they sat in my closet for a few weeks until I finally decided I was going to model again. I went out and spent 125 dollars on Testors oil-based paints and brushes and rattle cans and glue, and the accouterments of modeling that I was familiar with in the 80's. I set up a dedicated modeling desk in my master bedroom, and broke out a kit. Then I started looking at the modeling forums, and many things have changed from what I am familiar with.
I hope to learn new techniques, and paints and gear, and make a few friends here. I am apparently a "modeling dinosaur" as far as the way I understand how to build a model now-a-days, but am eager to learn, and produce some quality kits.
