Hello from the latest newbie

[Steve Osbourne]

Hello everyone. Steve Osbourne from Florida here. I've been following this forum for awhile as I've been away from the hobby for several years now and was hoping to get a feel of the current status of our hobby. Besides finding out that I am definitely not alone by making a return to the hobby after several years off I found that the hobby is as strong as ever. So I'm excited to be back and building again and to be a part of the forum.

Right now I'm limiting myself to building large scale (1:12 & 1:8) plastic non-F1 cars. I like to customize, modify, scratchbuild, kit-bash and use aftermarket parts whenever possible. Like many others, I like to photograph my completed models in real world backdrops and present them not retouched. Large scale offers many more opportunities for super detailing which photographs well.

I just started a 1:8 Big Deuce which hopefully I can start posting updates soon.

Welcome Steve..!   Id like to try some large scale stuff and detail them out.  I have been building for many many years but mostly in the 1/25th and 1/24rth scales.
