Arbatron Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Greetings and salutations. My name is Tim. I'm 41, living in the Lexington, ky area and I want to start modeling. I just wanted to say hi and apologize in advance for any stupid questions I may ask. Can anyone tell me if there is a modelers club in the lexington area? I'm looking forward to getting a ton of info from the forum. Thanks again, Tim.
PappyD340 Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 WELCOME to the forum Tim, this is the place for info on modeling, tons of it, and BTW the only stupid question is the one that doesn't get asked, glad to have you and enjoy yourself, the main thing is to have FUN with modeling!!

Chillyb1 Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Well, Tim, you've already offended me. When someone arrives here and claims to be an "old guy" I expect that person to be older than I am. So, you whippersnapper, you'd better break out the apologies and pronto. I mean, I'm only halfway to one hundred! Anyway, I'll forgive you in advance. And I'll graciously welcome you to the forum. There really is an invaluable wealth of modeling information here and most of us are pretty helpful when we want to be.
Arbatron Posted April 17, 2014 Author Posted April 17, 2014 Let me apologies a thousand times for offending you. Lol. Thanks for welcoming me to the group.
Ramfins59 Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Welcome to our plastic playground Tim. You'll like it here.
