Dr.Paul Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 (edited) Greetings! After 8 years, and receiving warm compliments on my lighted 1/8-scale Turbo Trans Am model in another post, I think it's a great time to introduce myself. As a motivational speaker and author, I share uplifting stories that have enabled me to triumph over cerebral palsy and hearing loss, reaching my dream of walking and achieving other milestones once believed impossible. I have been fortunate to be able to drive, earn a doctorate, and even write a book! I show students that self-love and loving others encourages us to find the courage to accept and navigate our own challenges. I've always been fascinated by cars and scale models, and that's why I asked my friend Randy to create these custom builds in 1/8-scale and 1/12-scale. My favorites of his builds is the lighted and carpeted 1/8-scale Monogram Turbo TA model. Here are some models in my collection, all built by Randy (below). Most are 1/12-scale, but the 1978 Corvette is 1/8-scale. He took these pics at his Illinois home before shipping them to me in NJ. The 1/12-scale convertible 450SL and silver Gullwing are in Randy's collection. As I sadly lost touch with him years ago, I hope he recognizes his builds and is inspired to reconnect with me! Enjoy!
