New here

[Scott H.]

I couldn't find an introduction area on the forums so I figured I would do it here. Hopefully I'm not messing up.

Hi everyone. My name is Scott, I'm 39 Years old, and I'm a Modelholic!

I found this site by talking to one of the members of the model club I belong to and have to say that after several years of being away from the hobby I feel like I'm going to have to step up my skills before I even THINK about posting a picture of my work here! There is some truly AWESOME work on here!!!

My modeling background includes building Street Rods & Customs, Box Stocks, and Big Rigs with an airplane and tank thrown in once in a while. I have been involved in building model kits since the early 80's and I was a founding member / helped to form the South Carolina Modeler's Association here in South Carolina. Due to personal reasons I had to step away from the hobby for a while but I have started thinking about returning to it once again on more than occasional basis like I am doing now, picking one of my many unfinished kits and tinkering with it.

In real life I have done everything from restoring cars & trucks back to show worthy vehicles. building customs, bikes, choppers, bobbers, and race cars. I even drove an old '67 Mack R-Series over the road for a while in my younger days.

I may not be able to help much on answering questions, but I'll try and help if I can. I'll definitely be asking for help once in a while when I have run into a brick wall and can't find the answer already posted on the forum somewhere. Fair warning though, I am Dyslexic and sometimes I miss a misspelled word.

I also have a fairly good sense of humor and once I get to know someone I tend to razz them every now and then. Feel free to razz me when I screw up, everyone needs a good laugh once in a while! Besides, if you can't laugh at yourself, you'll go through life crying!

Well enough about you, let's talk about about me!

Thanks! Unfortunately it's going to be a little but before I can even think about starting anything as I no longer have a dedicated place for modeling anymore and can't stand packing everything up and moving it when I start working on something.

I'm in located here Summerville, South Carolina (Just outside of Charleston). I just found where to update everything so it's fixed now. Sorry about that.

Thanks for the welcome. With everyone that has welcomed me here already I think I am going to like it here. Hopefully once I get everything worked out to have a space to work on models again I'll be able to help out more than just sit back, look at all the nice models being built by the members here, and ask questions.

I tend to think outside the box on things to use for detailing and as background scenery.

To be totally honest I'm going to have to get back into the swing of things for a little while before I can even think about doing something like that as I haven't actually finished a model in years and need to catch back up with what's going on in the modeling world.

Thanks again,

-Scott H.

Welcome aboard Captain.

Welcome to the forum and don't be afraid to ask questions. I personally won't be able to help much on that, as I've only just gotten back into the hobby as well, after about a 10-12 year "break", but a lot of ppl on here will be able to help you out.

I'll keep you in mind if I need any more help with the monza part I was after. I've had a bit of help with that and am hoping something will be finalised soon.

Once again, welcome.
