New guy from North Dakota

[Mike]

Hey everyone, I forgot to introduce myself when I joined up....

Anyway, I'm 31 (and an 8 year old according to the mrs. ) I've been building off & on for years. Started when I was 6 kept going until GI JOE took over. I picked up the hobby again as a young teen for about three years, then high school, girls, college, and a huge flood took all my modeling equipment and time away. 3 years ago, my folks bought me a new airbrush and compressor and I've been back in the hobby ever since and wondering why I never got back into it sooner. My "stash" is comprised of a variety of automobiles for one specific reason or another. My favorites are 69 Camaros and Nissan Skylines.

I've been married for 8 years to the most wonderful, supportive, and understanding woman on the planet, and I've got a 4 year old son (whom I've built a couple snap kits with) and a 2 year old daughter that keep me busy as well. Aside from model building, I play bass in a local variety band playing country/top 40/rock/heavy metal on the weekends for some extra $$$$$ to help support my model buying habit.

Well... Its about time you introduce yourself... Especially since your Caddy STS-V build made my modelers ADD kick in! :shock: You've posted some nice work already, welcome to the forum!

Mike,

In June come on down to the Twin Cities for our GMO-NNL show. You can check out the details at our website www.rpmmodelclub.com We have 1 guy who comes from Fargo every year - Junior Berg. The show is within blocks of the Mall of America which will nicely entertain your wife and son while you are hanging out with the model car guys. It's a really nice show. We are in our 9th year of putting it on.

Thanks for the invite. I'll definitely check it out. Hopefully my band isn't gigging that weekend. If I did come down, I'd probably see you with my buddy Mark here in town. We headed down to Fargo this past October for the Plastic on the Prairie show at the Ramada.
