It's been about 15 years since I've been in the hobby, and I'm hoping to get back into it again soon (a recent house purchase and new job has slowed me down some, however - life - it gets in the way of our hobbies, doesn't it?) <br /> <br />I've been buying MR for a few months now, but recently pulled out my 15yr old magazines. <br /> <br />Wow, the hobby has changed! Nothing against the layouts from MR 15 years ago, but the standard has really risen in the past 15 years! Gone are the days of brown bare plaster representing dirt, messy layout room shots, etc. <br /> <br />I ran accross an article last night in which MR said a standard would likely never be established for command control, due to so many different versions in existence. Heh heh.... (this was referring to analog command control, I believe). <br /> <br />This hobby is getting cooler and cooler all the time. I just have to figure out how to enter it again without spending much money. There's so much fun stuff to buy, I'm really going to have to figure out how to be a do-it-yourselfer in my hobby life now too! (figuring out how to make my own ground foam, rock molds, etc...) <br />
