Retired project
Retired nearly 2 years ago and thought I would return to something I hadn't done for over 55years!
Glad to see Airfix models are still around so I bought a few to begin.
A few mistake have been made, eyesight not what it once was and hands a bit shaky but having a great time, the shelf I put up in the shed will need another as it is already full!
I do need to improve my painting as these are all hand painted and sometimes the decals are tricky.
Your models look great, as do your shelves, the important thing is to enjoy this great hobby, welcome to iModeler.
Nice to see you’ve picked up this hobby again.
I did the same a couple of years ago.
Your builds look great, have fun.
Nice collection of models, welcome aboard.
All look good, Peter! Welcome back to the hobby and welcome aboard. Hope to see more in the future.
A wise decision to pick up this hobby again, Peter @peterweyers
Welcome to iModeler.
Looking at what you build so far, there is definitely nothing wrong with your skills. Everything looks really good.
Seems like you have a wel organized working area as well.
Looking forward to see more of your future projects.
All looking gorgeous, Peter! Great that you decided to return to modeling - what a comeback! Looking forward to seeing more of your models.
Welcome aboard!
Welcome, Peter! So many here are modeling fans who picked the hobby back up again after a long hiatus (called life), me included. What I love about this site is the encouragement, industry shop-talk, shared tips & techniques and tons of history.
You have a wonderful collection - keep building and sharing!
Nice collection Peter.
Welcome back to the modeling world. Your models look very good to begin with. I'm in a similar situation and that's why I focused on a bigger scale and I think it helped me.
Awesome work and a very nice collection of different aircraft! Welcome aboard, thanks for sharing!
Congratulations on your retirement and welcome back to the ranks of scale modelers. I can only echo the best advice and it has already been given in the welcome messages from others here - enjoy your time at the hobby bench and have fun.
What a great display area! The models, the woodwork, the tools all come together in a fantastic look. Looking forward to seeing more of your models, and thanks for an excellent post.
Welcome back to the wild side! Looks like you've made a great start!
You have a nice collection of built models, so far. Keep up the great work. Welcome to iModeler. @peterweyers
Welcome back to modelling Peter (@peterweyers) and what a great way to enjoy retirement 🙂
Well done on your builds after so long away from the hobby. Keep going! What's next?
Welcome back, looking good!
Thanks for all your kind words everyone.
I’m just about to start a new model!

I sense a lot more shelves in your future…
Beautiful work station with lots of good natural light. And it’s secluded, so the cat can’t help!
