JollySipper Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Im new to the forum but have been visiting as a guest for a while. there is a pattern I've noticed and that is that you guys turn out AMAZING work! C'mon, a cut-down Willys into a DW? a flying Impala? I realize I'm trying to run with the big dogs just by joining, but maybe I can learn some things here that i'd never learn on my own. thanks for reading and keep up the awesome work!!
george 53 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Welcome Tim. You ain't seen NOTHING yet! We got ALL kindsa builders here, so just sit back and enjoy it. Your gonna like it here!
Dr. Cranky Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Welcome aboard, Tim. You've come to possibly the best model car forum on the planet. Don't accept cheap imitations. LOL! Have a look around and see where you begin to find your comfort zone, and by all means whenever you want to share your eye candy, we'll be ready. Cheers, Doctor Cranky
Erik Smith Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 You will improve by visiting and viewing this forum. You will not even realize how much information you read and don't think about, but use. I can honestly say my building has improved greatly since coming back into the hobby and sites like this - showing you what is possible - help. It's also nice to know you are not alone in the world of styrene. Welcome!
sjordan2 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Welcome to the forum. I would just encourage you to make your topic titles more specific and informative. This one doesn't let us know what you're talking about.
Scott Colmer Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Welcome aboard Tim. Interesting that you identified two models by the same person. His name is Ira and aside from being a truly great person, he has been building since wayyyyy back. I first found out about Ira's creativity when I picked up an old issue of Car Modeler magazine and saw his Mooncube series. One of many PRIME modelers you will find here. Enjoy! Scott
Guest Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 Welcome Tim to the best forum on the web! Look forward to seeing your work.
JollySipper Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! As far as building, my next project will be an AMT '62 T-bird. As soon as its finished you guys will be the first to know! Again, thanks
Qwit Pushin Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Tim, what I've discovered here is that there ARE many folks who are, indeed, the 'complete builder' Excellent paint, detail, fabrication, etc. But what I've also discovered is that many of us have excelled in one or two areas, and I gain as much from that guy as I do the 'complete builder'. I might find someone who's painting skills are still a work in progress, but they nailed the best way to open and hinge a door or deck lid. I suspect we'll be learning a thing or two from you too if you're courageous enough to post your accomplishments. I think you'll find the modelers here to be a very accepting and encouraging bunch. Welcome, my friend.
Eshaver Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Tim, this a HOBBY, not a cult , a religion or a contest to inflate egoes . I know some here indulge in such practices . However , if somone here likes what I have , FINE , if not , fine too................ Ed Shaver
Junkman Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Welcome! Don't worry about your skill level. Learning how to build is an ongoing process and we have novices, experts and professionals alike all here. Just jump in and enjoy! Oh, aye. Been a novice for 40 years now, but I'll improve some day to perman00b status.
MikeMc Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! As far as building, my next project will be an AMT '62 T-bird. As soon as its finished you guys will be the first to know! Again, thanks So put it up in the workbench as you are building....you will get all sorts of opinions on the build...I like to listen so I learn....
Terry Sumner Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Wait'll you see my stuff....then you'll KNOW you'll have no problem!
