Sure thing brother! Glad to know you Ged :thumbsup
I'm all about getting things done with what I have to work with. There are more tools in my tool box in the garage that have notches, groove and angles modded to them, I sometimes go to use something and notice what I did to it and think to myself...now what was I doing that I did that for? :lol
Anyway, I'm in the same place you are, I rediscovered model building in July 2016 after many years away from it. I'd still go by the hobby shops once in a while, see something and buy it, and then put it in the closet. Then one day I was looking through that closet for something unrelated and discovered an MPC Millennium Falcon I'd been packing around for 25 years or so. I had just watched ESB and thought, well I should build this. So I put it together, put some lights in it and I noticed for the first time ever, the ANH had only 3 landing gear and ESB has 5 and I was like WTF? So I started researching it and found that that model was probably the MOST grossly inaccurate thing ever produced. So I got another one and did a little better, then another, and another till I'd built 5. The last having probably 70% aftermarket upgrades, and it looks awesome. Then one thing led to another, found this website doing a search for something, and now I'm hopelessly addicted once again. My wife may divorce me over it though cause I spend so much time building models. I think I may miss her if she leaves, but I'm not convinced of it

Altering existing tools to suit particular needs is something I hadn’t thought of . Using tools for things they weren’t designed for , that I’ve done :lol
It didn’t occur to me to ‘ develope ‘ a Avatar (?) name when I first signed up to this forum ( still might add a photo though ) .
I was just , more than happy to be taking up a neglected hobby again, and finding a site that had people who shared similar interests
