Thought I would drop by after creating my account here and introduce myself. My name is Corey, I am 29 years old and have not built a model since I was 11 years old or so. I was laying in bed the other evening and thought to myself that I need a new hobby, I need something to get me away from the video games that is more constructive and then it hit me, I am going to get back into building models again. I remember many afternoons walled up in my bedroom assembling either an airplane or a car and then admiring them when they sat on my shelf next to all the others. Well that is enough reminiscing from me. I will say that I have to start all over, I need everything from a hobby knife to paints to an actual model to build. That is enough talk from me for now, lol, I will see you all around the forums.
Hi Corey, good to have you aboard!
You’ve picked the right place to get you’re scale modeling going again. Jump in and ask questions. Most of us don’t bite …

Thank you for the warm welcome, I can’t wait to get back into the building of models, now to just decide what I want to build first.
Welcome to the Forums Corey. Glad to have you aboard. There are lots of great guys, and gals, on here that are ready, willing, and able to help you with any questions/problems that you might have. We do like to see pics of your builds. My name is Jim and I am a plasticaholic. I love the smell of plastic in the mourning. My [2cnts]. Start slow and take your time. You’ll find that each one you build will be a little better. Don’t get discouraged if things don’t go right. Just keep at it. I’m 72 and have been building since I was 6. I still make a mess of things once in a while. As long as they look good to you, that’s all that matters. It’s your hobby. Enjoy it.

You know Corey I had pretty much the same thoughts when I got back into this all. Hey…I GET to create stuff that happened in history and I GET to build whatever I want. It’s a great hobby and love doing it…ALOT. Welcome to the forum and if you need any help feel free to ask. If I don’t have the answer I’ll know someone that does!! Have fun in here, post pics and learn good buddy. See on down the road, Joe
Welcome Corey! you could not have a better place to help you get jump started in the hobby. Everyone here is loaded with an incredible amount talent and experience and is more than willing to share it with you.

Welcome Corey…
A christmas gift brought me back into the hobby after a 20+ year layoff…I think the wife and brother-in-law were trying to get rid of me as I’m totally back into it.
Check out the GB’s (group builds) and jump in one…great stuff, great folks, and highly addicting!
