WesR Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'm getting back into modeling after years of not working on any, i did some in college in the late 90s but it kind of fell to the side. I used to read about the IPMS in Finescale modeler all the time and I think a few guys that are part of the local modeling group are members. I usually stick to science fiction but am spreading my interests into replicated some vehicles from video games that are either real life or based on real life machines.

ghodges Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Welcome Wes! Glad to have you here. Are you a Trekie, a Star Wars, or some "other" fan when it comes to sci-fi? I look forward to seeing some of your work! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesR Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'm a little of everything. I started out with Trek and Star wars kits in the 90s before anime kits caught on then I moved on to those but the nearest hobby shop is a 2 hour round trip so i settled for what I could get. In college I got more anime kits since it was popular and a lot of places in Pittsburgh had them. Now i'm just going to do whatever catches my fancy I think since I don't have a lot of room.

WesR Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm sure I'll be bugging you guys for help fixing things on kits as I know the one B29 i have on the way the cowlings probably aren't accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesR Posted October 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 You guys have already been a big help. Had a minor setback as i was hoping to rework some of my dad's models from when he was a teen (we're talking early 60s stuff) but we must have gotten rid of them. I wanted to practice before I started on my new kits so friday i have to go get a 8.00 testors Corsair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
