Thank you for having me here.

Hello and thank you for having me on the forum. I am trying to work myself back into model car building after a time away from the hobby. I have built model cars for around 35 years but recently lost my job and got really depressed because I went from working 27 years to being out of work and financially it's not easy. So I'm trying to build models even though there are times I'm too stressed. Hopefully I can get back to the bench and enjoy my model cars. I am really into  muscle cars from the late 60's into the early 70's.

Hi Patrick, Welcome to the forum and back to modelling again, I find making a model one of the best stress relief actions out there and you get to see all of your efforts as a model of what you personally like be it Cars, Trucks, or any other model type it's a great tonic. Like you I came back into making models again after a long break, I also needed to get some stress relief after being told I had the big C boy that stress is a big one and making models has been my help and saviour even if it's only an hour or two a week, it will make a difference.

Enjoy your modelling and have fun doing that, there are loads of good people here on this site who will and can help you if you have any problems allowing you to make better models, what's to worry about. 

Rgds, John.

Thank you John. I really appreciate the warm welcome. My wife got that "big C" diagnosis a few years ago but she was able to win the battle. I truly hope all is well with you now. I am struggling to push to get some progress going on some of  my huge stash of models that I collected throughout the years. Attached is my 67 Chevelle, the last model I built before life went haywire.

Welcome Patrick...!  Nice car..!   I am a huge fan of the late 60s to mid 70s cars myself.  Hang in there I had to quit working too after many years...its not easy building is a great way to pass the time.

Hi Patrick,

That's a really nice build you have there, let the modelling roll. As you can tell from my tag photo I'm a truck nut but I do some cars to ease the brain off of those 18 wheelers for a time anyway. The battle with the Big C continues with me but I'm well enough to sit at my workbench and fight it that way as well as all the other things life throws at you, (you know where I'm coming from Eh!!!).

Rgds,

John.
