hi gang. After I joined a couple years ago my plan was to participate and show progress etc but after my first two builds we had an incident involving a puppy, a cat, a dumb place to display models, and a cartoonish explosion of plastic. I had to walk away for a while, ya know? But I did come back and have a half dozen under my belt since. Here's a wip before the um...accident. more than anything it's a walkthrough on posting pics for myself.and how she sits now.maybe you guys have similar stories. I'm going to see if the pics worked and if so i definitely have more to share. Thanks alright, instead of another thread, here's how this one sits now years later after exploding into many pieces.

Thanks guys, That's why I'm here. Good folks and great builds, good stuff.

Hiya fellas, Well,as the title suggests, I'm relatively new around here. I had been lurking for a few months here and on some similar forums and decided to join up here a month or so ago. I came for some questions and techniques, stayed for the superb talent and the support everyone shares. As a kid (mid-80's) I put a handful of kits together and generally remember a fondness for it, they're long gone now,wish I had them to redo but nope. Anywho, about 2 years ago I received the revell 32 5 window 2n1 as a gift and the proverbial bug bit.. Next came a Lindberg 37 chevy from my girlfriend - didn't care for the scale but I do care for the gf,haha so i went together.. Actually an enjoyable build. Shortly after, i dove into the amt 49 merc 3n1 and loved that one,lots of fun. Next, came the amt raiders coach which I unfortunately found very frustrating and its been shelved for awhile until the urge to throw it against the wall subsides. Currently doing the revell Roth 56 f-100 and although its got its fair share of gremlins, I'm finding nice tips here to continue. I'm also taking a few pics as i go,so I may try my hand at a build thread..maybe. And then that aforementioned bug made me grab the monogram 55 bel air, now sitting on deck. Looks to be a good one. So, this hobby doesn't appear to be a passing fad. I'm having a ball. I have a number of other hobbies but I find this to be extremely relaxing and rewarding and the girlfriend gives it the stamp of approval as it keeps me 'off the streets' so to speak. So, just a "hi there and thanks" for such a great and welcoming place. I'm floored by the majority of amazing work I've seen and although I've been searching like crazy for some tips and tricks of the trade I know that when the time comes, the forum will be there. Soon the plan is to take it to the next level- bmf, flocking, weathering etc. as I have zero interest in doing box art builds... Thanks again, great site. Tone (weeks shy of 40) Motor city, MI
