carbuilder1950 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Good day gents. Nice to be here. I've been a model car builder for a few years now. Belonged to some model car clubs, and did a few contests long ago, but now just build for the fun of it in my man cave model room - Fun stuff đ. I used to build a lot of mild customs and some street rods, but now after collecting a handful of some old plastic keepers over the years, and a few older resin kits, I've settled into some milder things I've been wanting to tackle, and spend less time finishing. I need my naps now that I have gotten older and retired . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Yep....retirement is wonderful stuff. I retired 10 years ago at 68 and have thoroughly enjoyed it. My first license plate after retirement was " NO MORE WRK" and the next was "NO PLAN". We have been married for 57 years and retiring has given us the the freedom to do spur of the moment things like traveling or spend the entire day working on models. Lovin every minute of it.

Super28 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Welcome David! Retired also. Got alot of projects and no money,lol. But do enjoy model building in the evenings. I belong to the same model club as Jim above me, To be exect, he's the president of the club. The name is F.A.S.T. and we meet the first Saturday of the month in Ocala florida. Welcome aboard!

Bucky Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Another welcome from me, David! And, I've been retired for five years, now. It seems there's so many of us "in the same boat", that it just might sink!! LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hi David! It looks more and more like a meeting of "Retired Anonymous" by the minute... Might as well confess it too: retired for 16 years. As Mr. Woodruff stated above, it allows for spontaneous ways to fill your free time, the most important of which is modeling, of course. Welcome aboard!

GarryR Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Yep, retirement is highly recommended. Wish I had done it a couple years earlier. Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
