Hi All. My name is John. Picked up modelling again after more than 5 decades. In my youth, I built a lot of aircraft and a few ships. Right now I am gob-smacked, bowled over and in absolute awe with the variety of tools, glues and paints we have at our disposal. Back in the day all we had was a Gillette blade (double edged) taped on one edge for safety, a tube of glue, one or two paint brushes and a hand full of Humbrol enamel paint cans. I’m afraid I’m going to lean on you all quite a bit to begin with but it will all be worth it in the end. Thanks for being here.

Welcome John! You are quite right about the changes to the hobby. I have been back at it since 2018 and even though I subscribed to FSM since the early 2000s there is a big gap between reading and doing. So 8 years back into it and I am still learning. But it keeps my fingers nimble and my mind active so continuous learning is a good thing.
Hello and welcome aboard,do you build SADF subjects,I have a Rooikat on my shelf
Welcome back to the hobby. Good time to return as I believe we are in the golden age of plastic modeling. So many kits/manufacturers and now great 3d printing. Looking forward to seeing your work.
Welcome back to the hobby and welcome to the forum, John! I look forward to seeing your builds.
Best regards,
Brad
