Hello y'all! My name is Chris and i got back into the hobby about a month and a half ago. I have banged out a few kits just to get the swing of things again. I will try to post some pics of them soon. Anyone here from the Dallas-Fort Worth area in Texas?

Hey Chris,

Welcome back, seems like more and more people are returning to the hobby and discovering this forum, and that is a great thing. I worked in Ft. Worth for two years, have returned home to Kemah (south of Houston by Galveston Bay) but still get up there once in a while. Two good tips for you that I learned from others......Wild Bill's Hobby Shop, what a place, has all the classics, drag cars, funny cars, cars, cars, cars, if you have never been, devote an afternoon when you can just browse. Also, at the Texas Motor Speedway they have 1:1 shows, and sometimes they have models shows too. I am sure others can give you more specifics, I learned about the shows there right before I came home, so never made one....yet. When you find one, let me know!!Hope this helps you meet folks in your area, and welcome back to the hobby!!

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Mike,

LOL i spent like 4 hours at Wild Bills yesterday. Been there 3 times in the last month and a half. I LOVE that place. Lynn (who i am assuming is the owner) was VERY cool! I bought 4 kits and a bunch of styrene sheet and tubing, as well as some stainless and some detailing accessories. Also bought some flocking and bare metal foil which i will be trying to use on the ivy green 62 bagged belair 409 im building

Hey Chris,

Man, I love Wild Bill's, our LHS (local hobby shops) are all very nice, but very limited compared to Bill's. Keep me posted on events going on at the Speedway if you would be so kind, can't remember the 1:1 show that had the model show as well, but if you discover it, let me know, see ya at the show and maybe we can make another trip to Bill's.

Not from anywhere near Texas, but welcome aboard anyway! Lots of fun here, as you'll soon find out.
