SuperStockAndy Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) Hey everyone, my name is Andy. I am a 12 year old boy from Indiana. I've been building models since I was about 7. I mainly build muscle cars, and drag cars. I'll take criticism on my builds, but I have no camera at the moment Edited December 16, 2010 by Android Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 (edited) Welcome in and glad to see you've been watching, Andy. (I told Santa you need a camera for Xmas) I think I was 8 when I started building, but it took a couple years before AMT started making cars ... then the planes just flew away.

Foxer Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Thanks guys...... Much appreciated! Mike, we ordered a camera like 3 weeks ago, never got anything saying it had shipped out That stinks. But, some places just don't get it and treat customers like they don't exist. Where was it ordered from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStockAndy Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'm not sure. My mom was the one that ordered it. I'm trying to think it was from Buy.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent G Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Welcome Andy and don't worry to much about mishaps. I've spilled more paint than I ever applied to any model. Hope you get a camera soon, we'd like to see your work. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imatt88 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Andy, Welcome aboard!! Good to see young people still building. I though computer games was killing our hobby.. Were abouts in Hoosier land do you live? I was stationed a Grissom AFB back in the early '80s and I really liked it there. I used to buy all my kits from a mall in Logansport, can't remember the name now, its been so long.. Then in 2003, I was with a unit that mobilizes out of Camp Atterbury, near Columbus. I liked the Columbus area, but Camp Atterbury was no fun I started building when I was 11, and you haven't lived until you've used latex house paint to paint a model Cheers, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStockAndy Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Thanks guys! @Nick: Mine's twice as bad as that, and I just got the desk a couple years ago! @Ian: North east corner. We go to Bunker Hill Dragstrip to watch my unlce race, we drive past Grissom AFB on highway 31 every time!
