ChiefInspector Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Not originally from Kentucky, but ended up here working for Mercedes-Benz. I am the lead Smart car tech, and dabble in Sprinter vans, plus I do a bit of gunsmithing for myself. I started modelling at the age of 3. Good memories for the last 27 years. I got out of it for awhile when a fire decimated my apartment in Tennessee, lost everything, and a spot of bad health for the final kick in the teeth. But now I am slowly getting back into it. I enjoy the less mainstream and more difficult kits. I have a small collection I need to hit hard. Finding time is always troublesome. I primarily stick the the 1:24 and 1:25 scale for the ease of storage. Most of my builds are out of the box, however I am starting to see the fun, enjoyment, and shear terror of a full custom build, and may look into it with one of my more common kits. Oh yeah, the name, ChiefInspector. Comes from my favorite scene from the movie Hot Fuzz The last picture of my recent builds before the fire claimed them.

robiwon Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Welcome aboard from another Kentuckian! I'm down here in Danville. I moved here from Mich. 8 years ago. I'm glad you're doing well after the fire and are rebuilding your collection. I had a basement flood when I lived in Mich. and lost about 150 built models and about 75 kits. I know the feeling...
