Similar but not the same for me . As long as I can remember ,I always painted things like my old Tonka dumptruck . Dad told me once that I always painted anything I got my hands on.
The HS I attended didn't have any art classes but I did some drawing off and on. I really didn't do a lot until I would draw some girlfriends and wives portraits for the guys in Vietnam when back at base camp.
When I came home in 1970 I started a correspondence course but had to give it up because of issues.
I've done airbrushing on cars and motorcycles but mostly ended up doing a lot of acrylic polymer paintings on canvas. I've also done a fair amount of woodcarving art.
I started my present layout in 2016 and I thought I was doing OK.............but boy, Ted , you have definitely made some impressive gains in the hobby .🤤 Nice work.
...........from the looks of your images on the Forum , I don't think " that skill " has left you.
Dallas, we have a lot in common'.. I was in Nam, 25th Infantry Div. 70-71.... Didn't do much drawing or any kind of modeling for many, many years..........So nice now to do what I want, when I want'... I love retirement'... And haven't missed working one second'....😄👍
