Newly retired at age 62, I started building models in the mid 60's, stopped in the 80's and started up again in 99. I build mostly 1/25 & 1/24, but occasionally in other scales. I build for my own enjoyment and shelf display, never for contests. My skills are mediocre, at best and my failures are invariably due to lack of patience. I joined this forum because after lurking here for a few years, I like the fact that you tend to be accepting of all interests and skill levels. My building will be on hold for a few months until I complete my move from the purgatory of SoCal to the relative heaven of Northwestern AZ. I'll try posting some pictures once I figure out how, I am after all, a tech troglodyte.
