I'm back or sorta back

Since I didn't know about this site till this week(courtesy of the Hyperscale discussion forum) I guess I'm new. I got into this hobby after seeing a departed friends Audii ( or something like that) metalic paper Ju-52 with a full interior in the 60's. I got the bug then and followed, working my way up to the same company's DC-3 kit. Maybe it was my friend having his Ju-52 chewed up by his dog or my marriage I kinda dropped out of this hobby. It was also because I never met any others who built card models. However, in the mid-80's I saw a group displaying their built card models at a Cleveland Air Show, but that's long way from Detroit. I sorta like this hobby because I'm a builder. Painting, decaling and adding all the little parts to finish a plastic kit is weary some to me. So I'm back, but in my mid 70's for how long.

Well great!

Enjoy. Lots to keep you busy. Lots of people to help.

And costs are reasonable.

Having a hobby like this has just GOT to be good for you. It gives you something you quickly learn to love (obsess about?), to focus on and a great reason to spring out of bed each day.

Welcome mate.

Hello and welcome. Age doesn’t matter at all here. The important thing is you enjoy building things out of paper.
