Hello and welcome to the forum Bigmother62& :wave:

I wouldn't worry about the Grim Reaper, he only wants to reap the souls of Grimms ;) besides, just give him a salvo of BB's up his skeletal butt, that'll teach him to try and get between man and his toys ;)

Anyway, we don't have a shortage of old immature adults here.

Enjoy the forum.

:D Yes, it's ironic that the adage-'what goes around, comes around' is also true of the ageing process. Many revisit their childhood, and the old toys in the attic, in these so-called 'Golden years'- and the similarities with the formative years don't end there. :/ It's a bit like the Benjamin Button syndrome, but without the Brad Pitt looks :haha:
Do enjoy your new playpen (I'm also 70 + and now unashamedly toddling along, these days :thumbup: ).

Welcome along Bigmother! A great knowledge group here. Trawl back through old builds in the forum and you will get guidance to let you know where to start. The three main areas seem to be model building, radios and tracking down the bits you need. Enjoy!

Simple solution. Start playing as a kid and then never stop! That'll confuse him.

Welcome aboard. It's never too late :)

Bigmother62& welcome to the Forum!

Seems everything does come full circle! :/ We're all just a bunch of kid's at heart anyway! :D Amazing bunch of guys on here, tons of knowledge, and amazing creations! Have a look around and if a search can't provide an answer, you can always ask! I doubt there's much these guys couldn't figure out! :crazy:

Regards,
Eric.

If you want, please tell us more. What tank(s) are you running? ...any other neat toys? Any advice for simultaneously handling an RC transmitter and a walker at the same time :D Ah, me old and nuts, too!
