Hello from southern indiana


Recommended Posts

Hello all, name is tony wife is tina hence TNT. Been together since 86 married in 92. Daughter born in 96. Son born in 92 passed in 2019 from cancer. Runs in the family. F.A.P. or Gardners syndrome is what got me started in modeling. In 72 my moms mom passed or nanny as i called her. Guess a DR or someone told my parents i needed something to take my  mind off of passing, so my 1st model was tom daniels fire enginenow i think it is called the "fire iron". Been in and out of models since. Even while in the army i built a few. This last time i went all in. Bought air brushes and other stuff. Been buying more than building lately. Went through a figure building stage the past year or so. Did 7 years active army  and a couple reserves. Was a plumber for 26 years. Then a casino tech for 5. Then forced into disability. That sucks. Luckily my wife and kids support me in my hobbies. Think they like mostly because it makes shopping for b days and holidays easy. They ask what i want, i say a model, or paints. Then i either order on line or go pick up.. i mainly build 1/24 and 1/25 cars and trucks. Do have a A10 warthog W.I.P. and a vietnam era APC. think they are both 1/35. Always looking to improve my skills, lord knows i can always use help. Never could understand why one build goes perfect start to finish and others mess up and end up in the box back on the shelf untill i feel like starting over. If i could have one car it would be a 67 impala 2 door convertible or hard top. If i could have 2 cars the 2nd would be 67 or 68 ford 7 liter convertible. Born n raised in Louisville ky. Wife xame home and said" i am pregnant", told her thats it we are getting the hell out of Louisvlle. Moved to the country in southern indiana, bought 10 acres, lived in a mobile home for 7 years then built a house in 2001. Did gave my colon removed in 99. That was a major pain. And i reckon that is enough about me. But any questions just ask.
