Greg T Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Hello, as they say "things always circle back". I built models from the age of 13 or so. Then found other interests as time went by. (Art school, college, etc) Never lost interest in cars. Now I'm 54 and I'm back to models. I even have a store in my area that specializes in model cars. Lots of old models that bring back memories and make me want to build them again ( only this time not built in 2 or 3 days hahaha).
D. Battista Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Welcome back to the hobby and to the forum Greg...! A lot has changed 43 years ... you will enjoy it .. . you had patients...LOL...I used to build 'em in one day.. with glue that didn't dry for 2 or 3 days.
afx Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Our modeling stories are very similar Greg and I was born & raised in PA. Welcome to the forum.

Ramfins59 Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Welcome to our plastic playground Greg. I also built models in my early teens but then discovered girls, cars, and bars where I originally lived on Long Island in NY. We moved to PA in late 2006. My daughter's husband's parents live in Irwin.
Sixties Sam Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Welcome, Greg. I'm in Centre County, near Penn state U. I was out of the hobby for about 30 years and came back too. BTW, I used to deal with a company in North Huntingdon in my engineering career. It was Quality Fabricating, a sheet metal fabricator. I made some good friends there! Sam
