Well put Bill!Scale modeling is like a lot of things,if you set your mind to it and work hard and getting better,you probably will.The neat thing about this hobby is that there are a lot of different aspects of it to enjoy.I don't know if I will ever be a good 3-D pilot,but I love to watch the guys who are.Scale planes are probably my biggest interest and I love to see a model that looks just like the real thing.I just finished my first attempt at producing a model that looks like the real one and it makes me won't to learn to build and produce one myself,a good friend was the builder,I did the research and got all the graphics and materials for the project.To each his own,and we should all appreciate the different areas of this great hobby.I think there is definately a place for Pro-am,fun-scale or what ever you call it to get people started and who knows,from there you produce the next master or expert scale builder!Thanks for all your input into this thread Bill,as I told you this morning I have learned a lot from it and it has been very informative.
