Helix

Hi guys, I'm Ray, started this great hobby when I was about 10 years old, my mum bought me a Revell kit and from that day, I was hooked! A 20 year Army career kept me away from the bench most of the time, however i continued to purchase and store kits for future projects.
After my military career finished, I jumped back into the hobby.....very slowly. I started to read lots of mags about the hobby and how to do things better.
I think the most important thing about this wonderful hobby is to not take it seriously and just have fun. I will build anything car related and I'm a big fan of muscle cars from the 60s and 70s.
I'm a strong believer in researching the subject before you tackle it and it brings out better results!
Most of my builds take a month to complete, although I have a few that have taken longer or have been shelved due to a rethink or change in plans!!
I live in Adelaide, South Australia, I have a dog and a cat that hang around the spare room were I build my projects, they are good company, my daughter is also a big influence on me, she keeps me away from the bench pursuing her goals and dreams, she is my rock!
I now work in the lucrative mining industry here in Australia as a consultant, were I spend most of the time traveling to different mine sites all over the country.
All the best
Ray
