SteveBos777 Posted March 19 #1 Posted March 19 (edited) I joined up because I'm starting to build the SS Rex from OldModelKits.com. Modeling was my childhood hobby, here are some of my ships in 1981. Now I have a house with a full basement, so years ago I built benches and a paint station, and got all the toys, er... tools. I have quite the stash, because buying models is much, much more efficient than completing them. I've built many model cars here over the last ten years and, after a few decades, I'm diving into a ship model. A resin one that that. Wish me luck! I think I'm ready for this. I can do this. Glad to be here. Edited March 19 by SteveBos777 Ryland Craze, ccoyle, SaltyScot and 5 others 8
