Bartimaeus5000 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 In the younger end of model builders, currently on the way through college. Still kind of new to model building, I've built 5 of the 1/25 scale car kits and about 40 miniture wargame figures, the biggest issue I've come across so far is there is nobody around my area to discuss model building with.

BeakDoc Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Greetings. Great to see younger folks getting into the hobby. I think it’s important for us older heads to foster the interest of the generations behind us. As an aside; do you have any family from Virginia? My great grandmother shares your last name. Anyways, happy building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

towman1271 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Welcome to the group. I'm not to far away from you.. I live near the Glendale Lake area.. A little north of Altoona. It is hard in our area to find others, but this group is full of great people always willing to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartimaeus5000 Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 Thank you, you're right you're not too far away. I'm glad I found this site, its hard to talk ideas and get opinions from people that don't, more or less, care about the hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrObsessive Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Welcome aboard Ethaniel! I'm just outside of the Harrisburg area, and in fact we have a model club that meets not only in Mechanicsburg (today), but also in York (CPMCC). You're a bit up there as far as distance, but it's definitely worth getting to our meetings sometime if you're able. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
