67Spirit Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Hello fellow model builders. I'm Tim, age 56 and I enjoy 50's to late 70's cars, stock, mild custom and street cars like I used to see on the road when I was growing up. Many of my builds are typical "used car" looking styles. Not totally factory stock new, but not "aged" either. I like a clean build of a shelf model, most any type, but realistic in appearance with some detail added. I prefer to not compete anymore in contests, but I do enjoy going to them. I appreciate the time and effort some folks put into building these phenomenally built kits, but it got to the point for me, that it took the enjoyment out of building them. (and I never got to the level many of you guys are at!!) I just do this for my own enjoyment now. With way too many kits in the closets, I will just build them to my taste and move on to the next one. Attached are just a few of what I have done to my level of enjoyment. All you superbuilders... ROCK ON!! LOL! I love checking out the work! Tim in NC
Ramfins59 Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Welcome to our plastic playground Timothy. You've built some very nice looking models.
Old Buckaroo Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Very nice models and I have noticed there are a lot of talented modelers on this forum from North Carolina. (and other states and countries) You will fit right in!
GTJUNIOR Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Welcome Tim. Judging by the models you've posted, you got nothing to be ashamed of. Those are some really nice clean builds you got there.
mikemodeler Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Welcome Tim from a fellow NC modeler! Those builds look fine to me but the important thing is that you have figured out how to enjoy the hobby! I too build for myself and would rather have 20 kits built to my satisfaction than to try and chase that one or two for a contest! You will enjoy it here, lots of great stuff to look at and learn!
DumpyDan Posted February 27, 2016 Posted February 27, 2016 Welcome, great looking builds can't wait to see more
