Hello from West Virginia!

Post by robertw »

Like many people I built a few models as a kid with my dad. Tossed some glued and paint on em as and called em good. I remember though I was building some car kit and I went to paint and kept getting bubbles. At the time I didn't know this was caused from mold release. Fast forward 8 or so years and it's around October. I dropped out of college/university, was extremely depressed, and just needed a new hobby. Was in my basement and saw the old place where we used to build and thought "That's it, I'll start building models again."

Now I have like 30 or so models. Anything from an Aoshima Lamborghini to a Italeri 1/48 V-22 Osprey. Hope to enter into some GB and just have fun!

:welcome: to ISM Rob. On a serious note, it's good to see that you are using modelling as a self-help tool to help with depression. If you ever feel you need to talk to someone, I'm sure that you'll always find some to chat to here.
