Welcome to Finescale Modeler

I know right!! I was in the same scenario. I’m still trying to not feel overwhelmed with all the progress in the hobby and newfound knowledge that comes with it.

Welcome back, have fun, and ask away :stuck_out_tongue:

I have also been away from the hobby for a long time welcome back

Welcome to FSM Forums. Post some pictures of that model.

Welcome to the Forums fellow old fart. Things really have changed. Not only the kits themselves have become more detailed but aftermaket details like 3D printing and 3D decals take things to a whole new level.
Welcome and hope to see your work here on the Forums.

Welcome! You’ll find the kits have improved drastically and there is a wide selection of subjects. The aftermarket has grown exponentially. Also, as you’ve found, on line forums and references are extremely valuable. Looking forward to your builds.

Welcome!

I was exactly the same (seems to be a lot of us). I took 30+years off and and came back this year. This is a great group, bring your questions and share your journey. We will love to see what you are up to.

Just so you don’t feel out of spec. im starting my first build start to finish regardless how it turns out after 30 years.
