Welcome back Ian... I'm sure you'll find it's still as fun (if not funner er more fun) then it was back in the day. What I love is the fact that now we've got all these other guys that are around to give ya help if you get stumped on how to do something and can offer all kinds of good advice. I remember when I was the only one in my neighborhood that built models, and had to figure out everything on my own. Sure there were a couple of magazines that came out back then but nothing that helped in scifi building, but then of course you never know what kind of model you may want to build. I used to just build sci-fi models, but have been looking at a couple of other types of models lately (old war ships the wooden kind and classic cars, who knows, maybe a plane or two along the way.) In any event, welcome back...
