    New member just starting back

    Hi all,
    I'm Steve and have just joined your forum. As a youth, like probably most of you, I spent many hours building cheap Airfix models, banging them together as quickly as I could, inpatient to see the fruits of my labour only to be disappointed. Well, as I'm much, much older and supposedly wiser, I'm giving it another go! I've been hanging around various Youtuber's getting geared up (mentally) to tackle my first project. I've no idea what but will hopefully get some ideas from this forum. I also need to start from scratch with tools, paints etc.
    I do have an Iwata airbrush which I'll be selling to part fund my start as I want to buy a gravity fed one (mine is syphon).
    So, hope to really get into my new hobby and will be pulling on your experiences over the coming months and years.
    Cheers
    Steve (aka OoFafoO)

    Welcome to the best forum there is. All sorts of modelling done here. It helps if you are a bit on the "wacky" side, most of the members are.
    John.

                This is by far and away the best modelling site, not just great modelling advice but wonderful support when things go wrong, trust me on that.

                    A warm welcome from me too, Steve.
                    Many of us belong to the "returnees" group, so you have probably been struck by the impressive evolution made by the technical side of the hobby; what has remained unchanged is the fun and that's what's more important. :smiling:

                      Are you sure you're in the right place Steve...there are some wacky fellas here who cut themselve, squint at tiny things and glue their fingers together all for fun.
                      You're a brave man...welcome.

                      Cheers,
                      Richard aka Wabble
