I've always enjoyed model cars. Built a couple when I was younger, though they were never that good. Been looking for a hobby besides drawing and working on my actual car, and figured I'd get back into this.

Just purchased a model kit off eBay to start the hobby. It is an old Saito BMW M6 model kit. I want to try and find some Volkswagen kits, mainly from the body style that I own, which is the mk4 or 2003-2005 model years. But any would do.

Here are some pics of the model, I haven't received it yet but I can't wait till I do.

^{I've noticed, there are already a few things I've seen others do that I want to try and do for this model or maybe another that I'm currently tryig to get, which is a model of a Celica GT-Four. One of my favorite cars, just wish they had them in the US.}

welcome, as a relatively new model builder myself i would advise you to walk before you can crawl. get yourself some cheapish kits and build them up to hone your skills, just try to focus on clean builds and nice paint.

I made the mistake of building a model i really wanted as my first and messed it up pretty bad. I have not been able to get my hands on the kit since and regret rushing in.

good luck with your building and i look forward to seeing some of your work.

Welcome back to the hobby as an adult. Have patience and ask lots of questions and you will be fine. I think Gregg did a thread called "Back To Basics" on a 67ish Charger that I would recommend to anyone getting into the hobby. It really helps.
