New guy looking for inspiration

[DrBbody]

Hey guys,

I recently got back into modeling after being "out of the loop" for a few year(15 to be exact) and to be honest I am amazed at the leaps and bounds this hobby has taken in my absence. I remember using sewing thread for spark plug wires, and you could buy any type of glue you wanted as long as it was Testors in the orange tube LOL. Now I see we have all kinds of new fangledy gidgits and gadgets available to us. I'm hoping to learn some new techniques from some of the more seasoned builders as well as find some inspiration here as I slowly get back into this hobby.

Thanks for the welcome back. It will take me awhile to get back in the swing of things, especially with all of the newer techniques and goodies.

Welcome back to modeling, Jonathan. Go through the under glass and/or WIPS. Plenty of inspiration there. Don't be shy about asking questions either. Lots of people here are more than willing to try and help.

Jonathan, just buy some styrene sheet and tube of CA glue and you're living. Create anything you can think of, with a little practice. Best part is that it's fun. I hope you enjoy what ever you build. Ken
