New Old Modeler

Hello Plastic model Comrades!
I like so many are getting back into the plastic model fun [:)]
I have been building plastics from around age 6 but for the last 12 years ive been building 1/4 scale RC planes.

Ive always been a modeler and still have some of my old plastic kits, YEA i did not get rid of the old modeling tools or kits [;)]

Now at age 42 think all pickup the old hobby that was so rewarding and fun all rolled up into one. The best part is its a lot cheaper than RC [:p].

Looking forward to learning all the new tricks im sure that have been learned over my years away from plastics.

Keep your powder dry ! [:0]

Hi ya Hetzer

Welcome to the FSM Community Modeling Forum(s) … the greatest place on the 'net for scale modelers !!!

I am glad to hear that you kept all of your tools and old kits … that will help make your return to scale plastic modeling easier and less expensive.

Spend some time on the FSM Community Modeling Forum(s) and you will quickly find out that we are a very friendly and very diverse group of scale modelers … from all points of the compass.

Again, welcome Grant and have fun !!! [^]

Welcome to FSM Grant and welcome back to the hobby. The old skills will soon return to you.
I’m not so sure sometimes if it’s cheaper or not, check out the prices of some of those aftermarket kits.

Hi, Grant, and welcome to FSM. The old tools come in handy. Like shermanfreak said, it may not necessariy be cheaper than R/C if yu REALLY superdetail some kits :slight_smile: It’s a lot of fun and better than a sharp stick in the eye, though! - Ed :slight_smile:
