>>8020303My dad came back after decades of hiatus too. All he had back then is shitty eastern-bloc kits, and and recognized the futility of it all after completing an East-German airliner in less than an hour, so he quit for like two decades.
Came back to the hobby about twenty years or so ago, and started building sailboats from wood.
Pic related, a 1:50 paddle steamer he did as a commission for some maritime museum.
