New Guy Introduction

[Brett Barrow]

Hello,

I found this forum a week or two ago while looking for some reviews of Revell's '08 Shelby GT500, saw some familiar and much respected (by me, at least)names here and thought I'd sign up and join the fun. I've been wrenching on my R/C cars all spring and summer and now that fall's aproaching I feel like getting back into scale modeling. I've been into several segments of scale modeling the past few years, but I think now I'm going to commit myself fully to car modeling, as it was where I started and I think it's what I'm best at.

I work for a hobby distributor, most of the time for our retail store. I didn't give my location, as it would give away who I work for, and I don't want anything I post here to reflect on my employer. I'm a pretty low-level guy there and not really in-the-loop when it comes to industry matters, anyway. I enjoy working in the business, though after a long day spent around models sometimes the last thing I want to do is work on one at home, so my builds usually progress at a glacial pace! I build primarily OOB, I'll do anything - from rat rods to MotoGP bikes, often the quality of a kit is more important than subject - I will buy a well-engineered kit, even if the real-life subject doesn't interest me that much, the GT500 being a case in point, not a big fan of the real Mustang, but I think Revell and Jada's kits are great and I have them both. When I get my workbench cleared of all my R/C stuff these will be the first projects I'll start, I'll be sure to post them here.

I also started a thread on the tips and tricks page looking for some engine and chassis paint detailing colors, would love to get some responses in that.

Thanks

Brett
