Just reintroducing myself....

I recently took an early retirement. Yes....my choice! What this means is more time for cars, models and anything I want to do. I'm currently still helping the folks at Eastwood. When I gave notice, they really never terminated me...I'm on retainer. I learned a great deal while I was there!

So......? What does this mean to you? I'll be writing a whole lot more. While at Eastwood, I had the chance to spray their Single Stage Urethane. My boss, who likes models, sprayed his Landrover diecast. We used company paint, activator and reducer. In addition, I tried using a detail gun. Results were very nice! You need to know a few safety things, but once mastered, you can do this. Safely!!!

If you have been following my series in the magazine, the basics have been laid down. Now I'm going to get serious on builds. Many unfished projects on my table will get done. I have a '55 Chevy that probably could legally drive now. It's that old! 

Went to NNL East, saw many old friends and had an injection of motivation. Once I do write a piece, I plan on compiling it into another reference book. I would like to do a series. Just something for you to have on your shelf, to help you with your builds. This being said, when looking at the quality of the builds displayed at NNL...I feel like a piker!

So.... If you liked my stuff in the past, keep an eye peeled for future submissions from me. I do plan stick to my plan. Ha! It will keep me out of my wife's hair while I'm home!

I also want input from you...feel free to email me directly. I've always liked the one on one contact.

Hi George- You are like the invisible man!  I didn't see you at NNL East and I've never bumped into you at Ron's Original Grille. Kevin will say you were in, but we never do so at the same time!  We need to make a dinner date!

George -- this is downright wacky. I only just decided to sign up for the forum here, and here I see you with your reintroduction -- timely! I think it's safe to say no one who's been in the hobby awhile needs an introduction to your work and writing. I've always enjoyed it, and still am appreciative of the photocopies you made and sent to me regarding your red 1/24 Chevelle build from the old Plastic Fanatic. Thanks for signing up, and looking forward to some serious building coming from your quarter. Congrats on your retirement, and I hope you enjoy every minute! You, and Tim Boyd, Dennis Doty, Gregg and company -- everyone associated with the model car industry and writing about it, has certainly brought a lot of enjoyment my way over the years. Keeps getting better, too. :)

I remember your articles well, and thought they were well-researched and well-assembled. They were inspiring in their own way to this high school/college kid. 

Welcome, George. I look forward to getting to know you and perhaps meeting at NNL-East.

Remember? I might be reviewing that SC/Rambler article you did in that other mag some time ago for ideas on detailing the Johan kit I just nabbed a few weeks ago. B)
