This one took me a few months. I had stalled on it for a bit, then with a surge of energy, much like that of the Genesis wave, I poured myself back into it and am very proud of the results.

TSJ Returns to a Hobby After Forty Years: Model Making

I previously posted on the blog about my experience getting back to a hobby I’d abandoned four decades ago. It was likely due to a lack of proper supplies, tools, paints and so on. Growing up, we just didn’t have much money and my models generally looked pretty bad.
