[bubbaman]

i would like to know if i`m the oldest  guy building models on here  -  66 yrs.  originally from  N.Y.

[MrObsessive]

I know there are a few here that are older than 66, but I'll let them make themselves known if they'd like.

Started building models in 1959.....now I'm 69 years young, and still enjoy the hobby!

I will be 75 years young on Wednesday.  I have slowed down with the model building, have about 8 WIP and have finished 2 so far this year but still enjoy the hobby tremendously

66 is probably median age for car modelers!       I'll be 75...  someday!     I'm working on 58 this September and don't want to rush that!

[Ramfins59]

Thanks Kevin.

Congrats on your upcoming birthday as many people don't reach their 60's or 70's. As long as you enjoy the hobby, that's all that counts.

[modelercarl]

Thank You Nick.  One nice thing about this age is that if you only get the bumpers mounted in one day, that's good enough, no need to sweat the small stuff.

[Snake45]

I'm fifty-'leven. Started building model cars exactly 50 years ago this year. (Started with model airplanes six or seven years before THAT.)

Happy Birthday Rich! I take it you'll be heading to NNL East? Hope to see ya there that Friday evening at The Tilted Kilt.

[bubbaman]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY  to all you youngins - i`m by no means the youngest  and found out  i`m not the oldest as long as THE GOOD LORD keeps me breathing i`ll  model on !!!

[Ramfins59]

Thank you all for your kind Birthday wishes.

Yes Bill, I'll be at the Tilted Kilt on Friday night and look forward to seeing you there too.

Carl, I agree.  There's no rush to get a model done.... a little here and a little there... it'll get done eventually.

[Harry Joy]

50

But I've never been certain how to factor my replacement parts. If they stack with my age, that makes me 66. If I average them out, I'm 22.

[MrBuick]

29....didn't pick up the hobby until I was almost 27. I built a few snap kits and a glue kit or two when I was a kit, but I never did any painting...all my glue bombs were left whatever color the stuff was molded in. Still, I wish I would have held onto those kits (my parents threw them out after I left them in their attic for like 5 years)...I've paid good money to get a few of those kits that I remember from my youth so I could try and do them right (well, at least right-er!).

I'll be chronologically-turning 46 on 16th April ( @ 0200 hrs ) .

I've been building for 40 years , more on than off ( took a 'sabbatical' in my mid-20's in order to pursue females ... I sure do miss that gal whom looked and dressed like Twiggy ! ) .

My vision is going to the trash , at least compared to how precise it was until 3 years ago !
