I started out building cars back when I was 11 I'm now 60 & boy have the car & truck kit's changed lot of flashing of part's . I dabbled with building as I got older but I was a car & truck mechanic as by trade . I was always interested in cars as a kid then wanted to see what really made them tic . I hurt myself fixing a truck tire so can't work at a decent pace so I went on disability but still have to work on my own cars . I truly love the models I see in stores where they have contests & on here coo stuff I dig the funny models from way back like the ratfink stuff & the line of models like those .
