EDCS87 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hi everyone! I'm a long-time BM reader and really enjoy the posts and community here. I began modelling as a kid, slapping together Heller and Monogram kits with whatever glue was available and slathering them with paint from those tiny Testors enamel bottles. I continued building on and off until high school, when sports and girls seemed more important (where have i heard that before? 😂) but now I'm in my early thirties and have gotten back to enjoying this great hobby after being inspired by seeing all the great work done by posters here and other sites! - David 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem to be a common theme amongst us modelers. I myself have been modeling since 1979, with a 10 year hiatus do to burnout from AMS/Competition.

Murdo Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Welcome back. I built my first kit as an adult about 30 years after my last as a youngster. My first kit as an adult was about 20 years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
