Hello everyone, I just joined the forum and want to introduce myself. Born way back in 1952 and retired since 2016 from a 17-year teaching career, I was a tinsmith/sheet metal mechanic and painter before that. My wife Jackie and I will soon celebrate 47 years of marriage, and we have two children and four grandchildren. I've been building scale models since about 1988, when I restarted the hobby as an adult. I mostly build 1/48 aircraft and a few 1/35 tanks so far. Since I was an avid car modeler in my youth, I may still build another one of those. Thanks for having me as a member!

Gary, Welcome to MSC! We are looking forward to seeing your work. You will find some great modelers here in every genre who are more than willing to offer advice on any subject, even the ones they know nothing about (This is mainly me)
How did you find your way here, invitation, word of mouth, google search, etc..?
