Everyone has heard that to keep our hobby
alive we need to get the younger generation interested in modeling.
But this can be difficult to do when a young modeler takes a look
at what a 40-year modeling veteran puts on display. Phrases like
"I can't do that!" are all too common, and it is difficult
to bridge the generation gap.
But then there's modelers like our Junior Editors.
They can put out models that rival that 40-year veteran, and since
they are from the younger generation themselves, other junior modelers
won't feel as intimidated. Instead of saying "I can't do that!",
they say "If he can do it, so can I!", and another generation
of modeling is started.
Thank you, Tony and Juho, for helping to continue
this great hobby of ours.
