leekslap Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 As suggested, saying hello as I ease myself back into the world of modeling for the first time in 35 years, give or take...has much changed? Anyway, looking forward to taking part and all that, BFN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, looking forward to taking part and all that, BFN. depends on how loony obsessed you were 'back then'.... things that I'd only just heard of 'then' (like photo etch parts) are now common. Superglue is now cheap New kits fit can with a precision that can cause problems that are 'user induced'... In short, a lot has changed! You haven't said what are your areas of interest? I also note you are in Worthing, you may wish to attend a one of the model clubs that meet in Southwick community centre IPMS Mid Sussex next meeting Thu 1st June http://ipmsmidsussex.org.uk/where-to-find-us I'm usually there, (have a look at my profile for a photo, or message me) and one chap I mentioned this too (loft-full) came along and said hello and now is a regular member, and there are a few other members here who attend, well worth coming along... nothing as useful as seeing a build and being able to ask the builder how a certain effect or modification was carried out. Or just a chance to meet some like minded folks. There is also South Downs Model Club http://southdownsmodelgroup.org.uk/ I've not been as I don't know anyone who goes and come through Lewes, but I know of at least two members here who go along, @cjhm and @mackem01, who I think is in Worthing as well. cheers T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackem01 Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Welcome aboard leekslap. Good advice and plenty of craic here so you will find it entertaining and informative. Who knows, may see you at Southwick (where I've been absent for quite a while but I intend to get my bum into gear again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackAck Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Leekslap, Welcome back to the hobby. As Troy has said a lot has changed, in terms of kits, and tools; but you may be surprised how much technique and know-how comes back to you once you start gluing bits together. BM is a great community for whatever flavour of scale modelling floats your boat/drives your tank/flies your plane, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
