Too old??

[EMAXX]

Too old? I thought you were going to be saying like you were 50-60 or something.
Welcome. I don't have any friends that like to model. It doesn't bother me. I do what I love to do.

why noone in your age isn't doing this ? maybe becose 16y old guy prefer doing nothing outside and being bust by the cops (at least, this is what happen 3 time by week here)

anyway i'm 22 and lot of ppl here are over 30.. there is no age for this

Testor and revell separate the kid and the real with there Metal body.. not metal body are for kids that want to play with them and Plastic are for those that have too muc money and want something they don't finish in 20 minutes.

C'mon! Too old @ 16!? I've just started modelling about a month ago and I'm 21! There is no such thing as an age limit for modelling .
About the tools....other than what others said, I think side cutters, scissors (spelling?) and some pegs to hold the parts to paint are very useful.

Feel free to ask any questions and please read the FAQ section

Hei, and welcome to the AF

Forget that, too old don't exist. I'm 30 and just made a come back in modeling. Not gonna leave 'til I'll die... or oblige to.

i dont think there is any age limit in car modeling because i am 15 but i started last year and i got into it because i thought it was so interesting. Also i love playing games too. My favorite game right now is SOCOM and i see ppl that is really old playing it too.

to old? I'm 16 as well and the thought of being to old for modeling never crossed my mind until now. Like tonioseven I hope to build models until my fingers crap out

[EMAXX]

I'll still be building models when my hands crap out.

i think as you get older your models start to get a LOT better, im only 17 and i thought the same thing, but who cares if other people around you arent doing it, if its fun, then do it

[BaNe]

I am 16 and build models but am a little embarassed about it, so not many people know that I do it. My current girlfriend (19) has no idea. I guess I dont tell people because they might think it to be a bit immature. but I love doing and am getting better at it. So go for it and have fun ad screw everyone else

[flyingmachine]

modelling immature?!!! 16 too old?!!! well, I picked up the spruce cutting once again at 27(quit 10 years ago) Approaching the subject much more seriously now. I remember I use to turnout 2-3 kits a weekend, now it is more like 2-3 kits a year. My ladie made fun of me in the beginning, but after letting her do the NSX engine, I think she might be hooked. BTW, all the dude w/ airbrushes, all you have to do is paint your lady's nails once and she won't nag you about the cost of everything anymore. Itz fun seeing WRC colors on her finger tips anyways.

Like everyone else said, there is no age limit to modelling! I heard of old geezers in their 70s who are still doing it. Just because there isn't anyone you know who models, doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it. I say go for it!!!

By the way, I noticed you live in Delta. You are talking about Delta, B.C. right? I used to live there and I build models even though no one else did. So now you know some one who does.
