I built from the time I was 5 until I was 18 , nothing but cars ! An older cousin was a drag freak on top of being model car crazy . He took me with him , and I mean everywhere he went , I was right there beside him ! I had the best of both worlds . I then turned to HO trains and for the next 30 years , I was buried in creating real life art in a much smaller scale .About 7 years ago , a buddy of mine came down into my shop and started opening up cabinets and pulled building after building out , he just went crazy over the detail . He started getting on me about building a few model cars and going to a show with him . I said "NO! Needless to say , he got his wish. The rest is , shall we say , history. I have made so many new friends in the car modeling world , I can't even begin to count them . Traveling to the shows to compete is second to none. Hanging out with the guys , stone busting , trading tips and tricks , you just can't beat it . I started a new business with it , doing custom airbrushing , and did a how to dvd for show quality finishes . I always have modeled , you never quit , it is the supreme addiction ! Greatest thrill? Watching my daughter's face as she walked up to get her Junior Best of Show trophy. Getting your kids involved , building shoulder to shoulder with them , nothing like it .
