It's odd, Steve, but the need to fill that void is real. For whatever reason, when I look at some of these old model boxes, I feel a real connection with those carefree days of youth and wonder.
While I have no one single kit that is my HG, there are about two dozen that I built as a kid that I'd like to reacquire, including the MPC AMX, AMT Dream Rod, Silhouette and Monogram "Big Deuce", to name but a few.
Thanks, guys. I think and hope that I'm going to have a real good time here. Though I'm a newbie here, I'm a more or less full time moderator on another large site, so I'm quite familiar with the process.
Just got registered tonight. I was weaned on car models as a kid, and have had an off again/on again interest in them ever since. Lately I've had a desire to reacqire and build some of the models I had as a kid that are long gone now. From what I've seen of the site so far, this is the place that seems will best serve my needs.
