Greg Wann Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Welcome , Jericho There is a lot of great info and great people on this forum. It is good to see some young man building models instead of wasting his life playing video games. Perhaps the resin casting bug will bite you like it did me!

Art Anderson Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hey guys I love to build model cars and make them look realistic, I am currently working on a 1968 dodge charger r/t 1/25 scale and if u guys ever have any tips please tell me. Jericho, Welcome to perhaps the most fun hobby on this planet! I've been building model cars for now more than 60 years, but still remember being 13! (I turned 71 just a week ago). You more than likely come at this with the normal limitations of money and experience--we ALL did that, trust me--virtually every one who posts on these forums have been there, done that, got the tee shirt. Don't let any of our drivel scare you, we don't bite! Feel more than free to ask questions--hopefully nobody here will denigrate you for that. Art Anderson (who's built hundreds of model cars since he was 13!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Speaking as a former teacher, it makes me very happy to see when a kid puts down a magic box and actually does something with their hands. Get your friends in on the fun, they may find they like it.And yes, there's tremendous amounts of information and help here, look around, and don't be afraid to ask questions. You won't get a detention, I promise! Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disabled modeler Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Welcome... best advise I have ever got was to treat every part as if it were a model itself and take your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
