After a few months of lurking this topic has drug me kicking and screaming from the shadows. Hello, my name is Will and I am a model car builder. I don't have a lathe or a mill to make scratchbuilt parts. I dont own a model car stash that will soon require its very own zipcode. I am not on a first name basis with the guy at my LHS and I do not receive Christmas cards from aftermarket companies for singlehandedly trying to keep them in business. Is there anything wrong with actually being one of the guys in the above mentioned comments? Nope. If it werent for those guys and their willingness to show us all how they do things it would get really boring, really fast. " Oh look honey, another box stock red 32 Ford". What I am is the best model car builder that I choose to be. I am in fact the best model car builder in my house. My cat has built a pretty sweet 36 Ford but her paint technique is not up to par yet as she always leaves hair stuck to her car. If she ever goes bald I may have to step up my game. The one thing I love about this hobby is the time you can spend in your own little world sanding down some putty that you obviously laid on way to thick or cussing some model company because the body of your slick little hot rod doesnt fit on the chassis the way it should. So with tongue planted firmly in cheek, I will head over to another post for a proper introduction and whoever owns this soapbox, it leans a little bit to the left...you might wanna take a look at it.
