freddy_fo Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Hello all. Every once in a while the bug bites to start another project and now is that time. I've built models since I was 8 but have only built 2 in the last 12 years and those were about 4 years ago. I've got about 40 unassembled kits with the idea if I don't get around to them till I retire then I'll have something to do Lately I've been distracted by R/C airplanes but I have no more room to build and store those things so fly what I got and start building some cars again. I came across this site several times researching detailing tricks to up my game. Have found many wonderful examples of outstanding builds so thought I ought to get in on the fun and join. I primarily build 1/24 cars but am a sucker for any complicated or highly detailed kit that I come across. Here is some of what I've done in the last 23 years.
#1 model citizen Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Welcome! Those are some very nice builds! I hope you will share some of your detailing tricks here!
slusher Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Welcome to the forum! Very good looking models!!!
freddy_fo Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 Thanks all. I'll definitely share what little I know when it comes time. I recently picked up a 57 Nomad (revell) that I built as a kid with the hopes of turning out a nice little car this time. My brain is on overload with all the possibilities of how to turn out a sweet little hot rod. Once I get a plan I'll post that in the cars/workbench area.
disabled modeler Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Welcome John...! That ship is sweet looking love the inside view area on it...very cool. Like you..Id love to find more models that I once had as a kid someday...would be good for the memories if nothing else.
D. Battista Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Cool stuff...! Welcome to the forum John...!!
Lizard Racing Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 Welcome to the forum. This is a good resource for the builder. Your tag line caught my attention. I am in bountiful and there is another Utahan in south Ogden.
freddy_fo Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 Ah yes... I was raised in North Ogden myself.

89AKurt Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Welcome! I live in Arizona, used to ski Alta. Only 40 unbuilt kits, eh? Think we can fix that problem. I have that Ferrari kit in the box, along with many others. Look forward to seeing more of your work.
