New from FL

Hi,

My name is Bill.  I'm getting the fever again after 20 years of raising kids.  We now have a hobby room, at least while the kids are at college.

I've probably built 100 model cars in my lifetime.  Strictly cars.  I never got a taste for planes or weapons although I see some great work from other people all the time.

I still have some of my early ones.  The oldest that still has wheels is a 1968 MPC Corvette, in 1:20 scale, rebuilt at least once.

My current projects are an AMT 1/25 Lamborghini Diablo and a Moebius Ford pickup.

Welcome Bill, I can relate I never wanted to build anything but cars and pickups.  I did try boat and a plane but not for me.  Glad you joined, now you can really start building.
