I'm just getting back into the hobby after a hiatus.

The Hobby Lobby 1/2 off sale is what has gotten me back into modeling after spending 15 years in miniatures gaming and painting.

I picked up 12 kits including the awesome academy 1/32 f-18. I'm just starting to reaquaint myself with what's out there and man am I impressed.

This site is great. Hope to get some photos up when I can.

Hi AMRAAM-120

Welcome back to the pack!

I never quite gave up, but my modelling was seriously in the doldrums before I discovered Armorama. You'll find plenty of friends and good advice here.

All the best

Great to have another fellow on board. You've got to post pics of that F-18, I am so curious of its actual size.

Thanks Chip. It looks huge. The box is gratifyingly hafty. I am goingto wait until I build my skills up again before I tackle it. I am going to work on others first.
