Greetings Everyone..I just recently found a re-interest in model building after about 38 years. As a kid my grandfather would take me the toy store and buy me model cars and airplanes. For me back then it was simply putting them together with testers glue and move on to the next. The last couple of months I've been studying (and Admiring) the building techniques within the various YouTube channels including Genessis and the attention to detail has really got me excited to get back into it. So I've gone out and bought supplies including paints, an airbrush and compressor and a couple of cheap models just to practice painting as I've never done that as a kid. So I think I'm about ready for my first official build which will be the Tamiya 1/48 F16C/N Aggressor that's sitting on my desk right now. I just need a few more things to get it started so maybe I'll jump into the the July-Dec group build with it.. Anyway I'm being long-winded.. Thanks for the add to the forums.. Dre' aka DISAVOWED420

Wish you very welcome !!! Always a nice surprise to have a new member. As you I decided, after almost 40 years, to come back to one of my favorite hobby when I was a child (in fact lego was my number one favorite hobby). Decided to buy some tools, paint and also an airbrush (was really desapointed when I tried to paint with a ordinary brush). Then I started to watch a ton of youtube videos but never really started building. That changed when I joined this fantastic Genessis-Model community. All the members are so kind their support is so much appreciated that it help me going on even if I'm novice. I try to keep having fun instead of reaching perfection and that's one of the reasons why I like armor tanks and vehicules. My skills are not so good for building aircrafts, and maybe I would try try to learn about patience. So enough about me, and time to wish you again WELCOME. Can't wait to see the first steps of your F16 build.
