Long John Silver Posted March 15 Share #1 Posted March 15 Hello modeler friends. I'm joining this wonderful site. I am French, retired (former fitter). As a child, I made plastic model planes and boats (heller and revell). Now that I have more time available, I can resume this activity. Like many here, I would use a translator...🫤 Mic KevinR, mtaylor, Vlax and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wawona59 Posted March 16 Share #11 Posted March 16 Bonjour, Welcome to Model Ship World. Many of us have similar stories. We built models when we were young and then college, careers, and family interceded (a good thing). Many of us are retired, or soon to be, and are emerging from "The Dark Side" (limited or no modeling". BTW, don't worry about your English. Your English is much better than my French. Au revoir!
