Hey everyone! I’m an alum of Cranfield University where I dived deep into Supply Chain Management. But here’s the twist – I’ve got this soft spot for cars and aerospace. Weird combo, right? Well, it’s exactly this mix that sparked something pretty neat. After playing around with a ton of smoke types and exhaust fans, and sweating the small stuff in between, I’ve finally got my demo off the ground. It’s a desktop wind tunnel for diecast cars. Pretty nifty, huh? I’m thinking it could really add some zing to our collections. I’d love to get your take on this. Ever seen anything like it? Or maybe tried your hand at something similar? I’ll be sharing more about my plans over in Diecast Corner soon, and I’m all for digging into this garage talk together. Guess posting in Diecast Corner is the way to go, right? Thanks a ton for letting me share. Can’t wait to hear what you think! 20240313-001.mp4

Hello everyone. I have always loved model cars especially wanting to build them. However, I think I am the youngest modeler on these forums. I am only 14 and I am a newbie because I began a month ago however I'm learning. I built models when I was 6 but I never had the patience, capability, and items for producing a quality piece so I stopped. I've been studying modeling tips and techniques and how to's for half a year. I have started two models, amt Meyers Manx, and the revel 1968 Vw beetle. Both are pretty fun. Soon, I'm going to start a '57 bel air but I should finish my first two kits first. Again nice to meet everyone! I would love to see your builds! Tyler

Just a note to all newbies,Seeing you all on my email,can't respond to all but I,m not .subbing anyone!!! May have to reset my settings and read them here. would love to talk to all, but if you wish email me,will respond. So WELCOME!!!one and all.Typing with one eye and screwy computer,hope you can read.

After 9 strokes which left me blind in the right and low vision in the left eye. I try to myself in my builds even harder with every build. I'm very active with some facebook pages and my own youtube channel. You might have seen my builds on the net and at a show around the northeast Ohio area.

Hello. My name is Paul, I've been looking for a long time. Decided it was time to join in. I've been building since I was 9 years old, with a break in my late teens, and early 20's. I don't build very fast, and I'm not as good as many of the guys here, but I do have a good time. Hope to be able to add something to the conversation.

returning to model building after finding myself with time on my hands . Irish living in England. Have not completed anything as yet. I'm impressed with what I've read and seen so far. Looking forward to tackling some projects, especilly some scratch building. Looking to work with 1:24 upto 1:36. as a newbie I would welcome any advice and pointers. Oh yeah, my wife bought me a shed to stick me out of harm's way

Hi guys, I'm a new guy to this forum and also new to the 1/24 scale model world. I've built Ferrari 458 Italia made by Fujimi and now I'm on the way to build Nissan Skyline GT-R34 and LaFerrari by Tamiya. Hope you guys could suggest me something when I need your advice. PS: I'm from Bangkok, Thailand but I'm not Thai. I'm Burmese (Myanmar).

Hello MCM posters! My name is Eric, I'm 24 and now living in Anaheim, CA. Just wanted to stop in and give a little background on myself as well as share a little of my work that survived. Where to start... Hmm. Born and raised in California, and spent a majority of my life on the West Coast. Military family, step-dad was a career Marine. Moved around quite a bit, but I always retained my hobbies wherever we were at the time. I spent a majority of my childhood and teen years building models, RC cars or all kinds, or just about anything i could fix or put together. Of course though, you grow up, move out and the finer things get set on the back burner. I spent the next 5 years basically making a mess of things, moving back and forth between 2 states, acquiring substance abuse issues... You name it. But, I've been clean and sober for a little over 2 years now and that's what has sorta brought me back here. With all this new found free time, I decided to rekindle my love of hobbies and give myself something constructive to do. So I've begun acquiring all the kits I managed to rush and ruin and a youngster to kickstart the process. Here is what's left of a Tamiya 1/72 Corsair, which is the last kit i worked on in 2008 before going, "rogue". Never finished, just recently did a little final assembly to keep it as a display piece and a reminder. I have already obtained the kit to redeem this build, so stay tuned for that! But of course! CAR KITS! This will be my first "On the bench" project. Not a good kit, but destroyed one as a kid and with the recent passing of Paul Walker I felt it neccisary. Sorry about the lengthly and semi-personal introduction. I hope to learn and share a lot here on this board.
