Hello all, I hope I am welcomed here with kindness. I have been lurking on the boards for a bit, and finally decided to post. Some great builders here and I really enjoy watching projects. I started customizing action figures originally, building superheros and such. While still doing those I started building dioramas for photo shoots(my own). I then decided to start picking up some 1:18 scale die cast cars for kicks. I planned on "tuning them up" with new rims, paint jobs, etc.

Anyone have a spare whip antenna???
Let me know what you think, comments, suggestions, tips, tricks, ideas, I am an open book!
