8915civicnut Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 As the title says I have way to many hobbies and can't stay focused on one for long my builds take way longer than they should. I'm 51 years old from So Cal and have been finished in the hobby since I was about 6 or 7 years old. I build mostly race cars and modified import cars with a sprinkling of domestic cars once and a while. As I said I spend my time between other hobbies I'm also into rc rock crawling, rc off road racing, road biking, mountain biking and I have my real cars I like to tinker on once and a while. I also have a wife and daughter that keep me very busy so I find my modeling projects sitting on the workbench for extended stays lol. I finished my last build last week and it was on the bench for almost two years but it's finally done. Thanks for allowing me to join in on the fun here.

Rich Chernosky Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Welcome to the forum Eric. You really should build more. This one and the other two I commented on are excellent builds. We have similar tastes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try but my rc crawling has kinda been getting in the way 😅 but I've been working on some stuff in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it can get a little busy sometimes. I tend to get hooked on one for a while and move to another for a while. It's vicious circle.

Yeah Rick when I do work on my builds I try to build to the best of my ability. I don't take it as seriously as I used to. I did contest stuff for a lot of years but got burned out so I just build to relax now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a set schedule at work so mid week meetings are to plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
