GTJUNIOR Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Greetings from sunny South Africa.I started building models when I was about 6 or 7 and built mostly aircraft until that wonderful day I discovered 1/24 car models. I think I was about 12 or 13 yrs old. It was a MPC Ford Bronco and it was a disaster, but I was hooked. Built off and on til my mid 20's. Then life got in the way. Now at age 47 I have picked up again. I am currently busy with a Nissan R34 GTR and have 7 or 8 other kits lined up for the bench.My 10 yr old daughter has taken an interest and has built two snap-tite kits with my assistance. the Revell 63 Corvette and 34 Ford. No paint or detailing, just the kit stickers. One day when I have more confidence in my abilities I may rebuild both kits and add engine's and other details.I have a very broad taste in cars from muscle cars and hot rods to tuners and European sports cars. If it has an engine and four wheels then chances are I am interested in it.I am hoping to learn a lot from other members on this forum.
snacktruck67 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Welcome back to the grind. I wish I had not waited so long to come back. I joined the Army in 67, when I wad 19. Did not get back to modeling until 2007. Then I took another break around 2010. I just burned myself out. Got back in just 9 months ago. I hope to stick with it for a while. I got too much invested in the hobby to give it up.
GTJUNIOR Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 Thanks for the warm welcome. Currently busy with a Tamiya R34 skyline. Will post pics soon.
