Hi everyone,
I was just wondering what brought you folks to hobbytalk, and what you come here for.
I came here back in the late 90's. I found my grail kit in my local hobby shop,(it was the LIS B-9 robot from Polar lights)and checked out the link posted on either on the side of the box, or somewhere in the instructions.
I,ve been hooked ever since.
The old days where a hoot with the old clubhouse.A charicter called rat running around the place and so many other characters too. It was a real joy to come on and see the silly shenanegans going on around here. Names are escaping me at this moment, but it was fun. and of course, who could forget the Queen of styrene, Lisa!!! yes sire alot of great memories!!
Added to that was the fact that Tom Lowe and Polar lights was doing something that was unheard of then. They were providing a place for us to learn about the plans of this new company and to feel like someone was interested in our opinions and wishes when it came to our beloved hobby.
Along with all that I was with others who shared my love for the hobby. I felt for the first time that I wasn't alone in my love of sci-fi and monster kits. Never before had I been aware of so many others that shared the same interest in models as myself.
Getting to share my work with others,and more so, being inspired by others work is another of the great things about this particular board.
Polar lights left and there was a vacuum for a short period of time, one I was afraid might last the rest of my life. Then came along Moebius models, and light at the end of the tunnel.The came Monarch on moebius's heels.
This has become, for me, THE place to come and share info,and gain knowledge and insperation from the rest of you fine folks.
I thought I would pose the question to find out what this place means for some of the rest of you folks
Model on...
Dave
