Hopefully in the coming weeks I'll try a project of my own & share the result with you guys.

No such thing as a little to rambunctious in this hobby/sport. Keep up the enthusiasm and if ya dont find the answer your looking for then by all means ask away! Welcome to the MF world.

Hi ninerfan09,

Greetings to you my friend. My name is John but I am better known as Coach J on the chatboard. I am the gentleman who was mentioned in the initial response. Welcome to the chatboard. As Geno H said keep up the enthusiasm and eventually someone can come with an answer to your question or questions. Most of your initial questions have been answered. If you are looking for someone to paint a particular team for you then let me know. By the way I noticed that you live in Kentucky. I will try to see if I can put you in touch with some coaches in your area.

Have a good day, feel free to ask any additional questions, and again welcome to the chatboard.

John aka Coach J

Hey ninerfan09

Where in Kentucky are you? There are a group of us in the Bowling Green area that are forming a league if you would be interested in playing in a league. I am in Nashville, TN but I go up to play in Bowling Green.

Welcome to the forum and let me know if there is anything I can do to help you get back in the game.

Thanks

You will find most of your questions answered here. also, familiarize yourself with the PM function. you can send a personal message to an individual on a more specific question, or looking for a more specific answer. also, its a good tool for just chatting away about the hobby.

There are some of us here who have been back for 2-5 years (myself and some others), some are brand new (Michael, who is 12yrs old and yet, gave you the absolute most informed response thus far ), some back within the past year (DetroitChild and a few others), and the old vets who probably never left the game. my point is, dont feel like you are way behind in anything or feel its not your place to ask a question. there are guys in the same boat as you and we mix in right along with the founding fathers of the hobby.

as you research how far the game has come, you will see there are different people who specialize in different areas. just watch, you will figure out what i just said soon enough.

and as previously mentioned, as far as being back in the game, it has become more of a hobby for us. you can explore and settle into the many facets of the hobby that are here. you can play in a league or tournamentsfor competition. you can play solitaire leagues which is all by your self with a few teams. you can get into painting your own teams. you can get into customizing your own figures from the 5 or so different manufacturers of figures. you can get heavily into just tweaking bases for optimum performance. or you can get into building boards and stadiums. or perhaps just collecting teams. did i leave anything out??????
might seem overwhelming right now, but it will all fall into place as you dabble more on the board and in the hobby. most of us do all of the above, but like i said, you will find some guys are specializers in the particular aspects of the game.

BUT THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE YOU IS, FIND SOME GUYS WHO PLAY, AND ATTEND THEIR GAME. FIND THE LEAGUE IN KENTUCKY AND TRY YOUR BEST TO GET TO AN OUTING. WE CAN TELL YOU ABOUT THINGS ALL DAY, BUT WHEN YOU ACTUALLY SEE IT, IT COMES TO YOU SO MUCH FASTER AND WITH BETTER UNDERSTANDING.

So enjoy my friend, and welcome.

They will help you, they helped me alot.
I love this sport but I have no one in Orlando, Florida to battle.
My son (12) is gettin a little bit interested, so i am feeding him slowly, his friends love the game but the age isn't there for me, i can only hope there parents catch the fever
