Hello!
Hey folks - happy to join the forum. I recently (about a year ago early pandemic) discovered an old Campbell kit in the basement that I started probably close to 30 years ago. Brought back memories of my teen year layouts where those plaid boxes were always out of reach both from a price and skill, but literally because the stores usually stocked them on the top shelf! I dreamed of working on them but had settled for weathering plastic kits with whatever I had on hand. Having re-discovered the hobby, I have found there is so much more information, products, and kits available than ever. No room for a layout, but enough for a workbench (well, end of kitchen table...). I am now in a permanent work from home job, kids have moved out, and my model building is a great break from the keyboard. I have already enjoyed and learned a lot from some of the great posts here in the forum. I picked up my first SWSM (E. J. Whiley) and looking forward to taking the next step in my modeling skills.

Welcome to the rabbit hole!
Rewards are at the bottom, just keep falling
Don’t trouble yourself too much with paint conversions. Like-for-like alternatives don’t really exist and much fun can be had finding your own way.
