My name is Bob. I build silly little plastic things, but since they make me happy I keep doing it.
I build mostly automobiles but that is not what Ive done for the last couple of years.
I found miniature painting on Youtube a couple of years ago. Instead of simply trying it out I delved into it as though it was the only thing in the universe. I bought the paints, all the strange tools and upgraded my airbrush(s). You name it I got it. Then I spent MANY hours watching YT videos on every technique there was. Then I got into Warhammer and resin figures and I got lost for quiye a long time. I am a member of ModelCarsMag.com and have been one for almost 15 years. I had not logged into that site since the mini bug hit in over 2 years.
I had it pretty bad...
A month ago I came out of it. I built a car start to finish without stopping. I got some silly kits as a gift and started building those. Looks like I found balance after my long dive into mini land. But I have no complaints. I enjoyed myself very much. Upped my painting game significantly. And made a side business out of it as well.
Bob (TooOld) invited me here after he saw somenof my latest victims and said you were a nice bunch and werent judgy types like some can be.
So blame him when it all goes pear shaped.
Bob

Welcome aboard Bob! We're a niche (cartoon subjects) within a niche (automotive kits) within a niche (plastic models) so really can't afford to be judgy about anyone!
