I'm_PlanB Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone, I have enjoyed this hobby for a long time now, I got introduced intoScale modeling when I was about 12 yrs old by an older cousin of mine.He was a great guy and saw him as a mentor and a great friend. I had purchased about 30 different Model cars mostly being Toyota, when I worked for a dealership back in 2003-2008 and never Did anything with until when my cousin unexpectedly died from a heart attack in 2008 so I started to build them kind of as a tribute. Anyways , I have started on mostly all my kits , starting and stopping throughout the years . I bought mostly everything I needed to complete them like wheel sets, paints airbrushing, etc. I have used the skills my cousin taught me and they are valuable to me ,but I have needed to look online for tips that I have been having trouble with, and that's why I am here, thanks Edited May 2, 2016 by I'm_PlanB Spacing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm_PlanB Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 Thanks for the welcome to this forum, I have a lot to learn still and I look forward in showing what I have got done so far . Modelbuilder Mark- no, I don't work for Toyota anymore. I worked in parts dept. and got restless just being in one place for 8+ hours daily, so I jumped trades and now work as a beverage equipment technician. I enjoy working with my hands repairing, installing and maintenance rather than selling parts . plus the internet has put a big dent in that industry where you are able to get same factory parts for so much cheaper price than a dealership Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
