Hi all,
I just found this forum and decided to sign up. My name is Mark, I'm 47, and I've been car-crazy my whole life. Started out with Matchbox and Tonka, then graduated to model kits when I was about 8. I kind of left them behind when I got into RC cars a few years later, but recently I've started collecting old model car kits (mostly '70s-80s, stuff I remember). It started out with a couple of antique-shop finds, and then a couple of peeks at eBay, and now all of a sudden I have about 70 kits...
These are divided into "keepers" and "builders," although I plan to build them all eventually. I've finished a couple, and I'm finding it a whole different experience from when I was 13. I have greater patience, but worse eyesight... thank goodness for reading glasses.
I'll post some photos of my successes in a while (I'll keep the failures to myself). But for now, I'm going to peruse some photos on here. Lots of good stuff here!
