New Old Guy

[Paul L]

Hi all, I was an avid builder from when I was around 11 until my late 20s. It's now 40 years later and I started building again a couple of years ago. My main focus is 1/25 cars, primarily '60s and '70s drag cars and muscle cars. I'm now working on a diorama of a late '60s early '70s drag strip laid out on a table made from two 4' x 8' pieces of plywood. It will consist of the pit area with a garage and the starting line.
Fortunately I never got rid of any of my old models or tools, I had them all packed away in four large boxes. I found a dozen or so new unbuilt kits that cost $1.19 - $1.49. Things certainly have changed over the years. I was a serious detail freak in my younger days, this time around it's going to be more for fun with just some basic detailing.

Thanks! I'm going to post some pics of a few of my ongoing projects. I'm a real kit basher, I can't leave anything the way it came in the box. The only kit car I've ever built is a '32 Ford Vicky (stock version) that I started almost 40 years ago and it's still not quite finished...lol

Welcome Paul from a relatively "new old guy" I just restarted a couple years ago and I'm in my 70's.  A lot of good folks on here willing to help. Enjoy.

Welcome to the forum Paul!  Like you, I'm a drag and muscle cars lover from the sixties and seventies and it's impossible for me to make a kit without modifying it so I can't wait to see your next projects!
