Steamboat Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Hi,My name is Bill. I'm getting the fever again after 20 years of raising kids. We now have a hobby room, at least while the kids are at college.I've probably built 100 model cars in my lifetime. Strictly cars. I never got a taste for planes or weapons although I see some great work from other people all the time.I still have some of my early ones. The oldest that still has wheels is a 1968 MPC Corvette, in 1:20 scale, rebuilt at least once.My current projects are an AMT 1/25 Lamborghini Diablo and a Moebius Ford pickup.

DumpyDan Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Welcome Bill, I can relate I never wanted to build anything but cars and pickups. I did try boat and a plane but not for me. Glad you joined, now you can really start building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
