Russell C Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 One of those things I've never gotten around to, I guess. Been building model vehicles since 1975, especially liked the AMTs at first with the straight metal rod axles since I could play with my cars in the carpet. Built exclusively model trucks from '77-ish to the late '80s. The first contest I attended outside of the local state fair was the 1989 Southwest Challenge in Dallas, with my BMW Cadillac. June 1990 SAE magazine, click to enlarge. Perennial attendee to the Greater Salt Lake International Model Car Contest non-stop since 1990. I'm the guy with the running joke in the "Group" category where I build the vehicle as a yellow 3-wheeler, as in this year's Group 13 1949 Ford. (borrowing somebody else's Fotki photo here) The fun 'bookend' concept to that is the '64 Caddy bumper (now narrowed) on my Ford is the leftover one from my BMW Caddy project Slacked off in building recently, but I should get back into it. No reason not to. Gregg " the Kahuna" knows me, probably says I'm a nut. - Russell Cook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell C Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 .... Moonlight Modelers and Cactus Car Modelers. We don't bite. Oh, I know. Dale M from Moonlight had been inviting me to drop into the the club for quite some time. The conspriacy of my current at-home paperwork stuff combined with every-weekend care & feeding of elderly parents really eats into available free time. I'm waaaaay behind in basic model building projects..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
