I graduated with a BS in Mechanical Engineering and am working for Daimler AG, and live in a small rented apartment with absolutely no place to paint. My model stuff is boxed up (all my paints have coagulated...) in the spare bedroom of my parents' house in another state.
Once I get my OWN place, I will certainly be reviving the hobby, and with more income I should be able to afford some nice tools and raw materials. Having spent so many hours on these kits, I would hate to lose that time to "a former hobby," even though real cars have become a more exciting pastime. Visiting this forum once in a while inspires my creative talents and makes me want to do more detail work, so expect some in the future.
It helps that my department's senior manager just came by and told me how much he enjoys scale modeling as well. I will definitely be doing this just as soon as I can.
Sorry admins...but I have no plan to let this thread die.

Hmm, bumping your own thread. Frankly Alex, the work here isn't that advanced or of very high quality. I see potential but you should focus your goals, make a workspace, stop referring to your creative talents, and get on with it. Your paint is just bad. Other builders here do fantastic paint
outdoors. In hobbies and career, you will be judged on results. You should undersell and overdeliver. That's how to attract meaningful recognition for your contribution. Sorry if this sounds harsh but I see in you myself about 20 years ago and wish someone had called me on my bullshit and forced me to step up my game. (P.S. Germans don't tolerate sloppy engineering.)
