Once a builder, always a builder

[TimStangohr]

I built model cars and trucks as a kid, back before the days of photoetched saws, haha. I loved to make weathered beaters, I remember saving flood silt (the finest dirt there is) and using it to make mud for a farm truck build. All of the model stuff got packed up once I got my driver's license at age 15. Right now I am scaling down my full time career to make time for modeling again. My 7 year old is interested. These seem to be exciting days for the hobby as a whole. Would most of you share that feeling?

Welcome Tim..!   For me the golden age of building was the 60s and 70s stuff....glad some are making a came back.  Your right...once a builder always a builder...I cant imagine life without plastic...would be very boring for me.
