Hello from Texas

[TedD]

Hey Ya'll,

 

Due to life's changes I decided to give model car building a try.  I built a few when I was young but they usually resembled something much less than the picture on the box with finger prints all over the body. LOL

I built RC airplanes for many years but due to developing allergies to balsa dust and cyno glues, I had to give that up. After a few other hobbies, I really wanted something that could occupy the hands and the mind so here I am.  I have done a ton of reading and am really impressed with the quality of detail you builders put into these things. I hope to one day have a finished model worthy of posting pictures on here.  I have begun assembling the bits and pieces I don't have to aid in putting together a quality model. I.e. spray booth, rebuilding my airbrushes that have been sitting idle for many years, glues, paints, etc...

Primarily interested in American Iron Hot Rods of all eras but may build a few other types of models just for something different.

Regards,

Ted

Welcome Ted from another Texan! (even though I'm a transplant from Northern California). I'm new to this forum too and so far have found it to be a great community of modelers not to mention a source of inspiration and info.

Welcome Ted.  Never think that a model is unworthy of posting.  This form has all ends of the spectrum from horrible to amazing and with a few exceptions, everyone is glad to see someone just building.  Yes, there are some stunners here, but building is all about satisfying the creative genius in all of us.  Build what make you happy the way that makes you happy and you will never go wrong.  If you choose to compare your work to others, then please do it constructively.  Feel free to ask how something is done or how to correct an issue and there will be plenty of advise here.  Take what you want and leave what you don't.  Just make sure what you do makes you smile and it automatically is a winner. 

Welcome to the zoo!

Thanks for the welcome. Already picking up a lot of good information from the forum. Hope to post some pictures of my first build on the bench in the coming days.
