crazyjim Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 That's our club, Rick. FAST You moved from Citrus Springs to Indiana? If you came back you'd have a club nearby.
polandmob Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 yeah i left flordia for work up couldnt find work down there.loved the area hell you probbly crossed paths once or twice i know a couple good honey holes for kits if you need them lmk
crazyjim Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 The economy got worse here. The County started taking 3% for a retirement fund for employees. Courts say illegal and now the County has to pay the money back plus interest. Citrus County has no idea where they'll get another million or so. Maybe a raise in the millage rate for higher taxes. Kits? Cheap? Of course I'm interested. Locally it's either Rob's Hobby World or Hobby Lobby.
polandmob Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 in homosassa theres a pawn shop that has all kinds of kits and pretty fair on on the cash side.no building supplies abc pawn by the burger king cant remember the cats name tho

rel14 Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 OK, lets get one started in the naples-ft. myers area,, I'm in lehigh,,I dont know anyone in lee county doing model cars,,its all golf, planes, or RC,, Like to hear from some local builders,, Nothing else, maybe we can swap some parts and a couple good lies..HAHA..
Dr. Cranky Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Hope you and S. made it back safely from the BAMA show, Tim. Best, V.
Dr. Cranky Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 I think if we all put our heads together maybe we can organize a big FLA. STATE-WIDE model club, and then have a yearly NNL Style Show that moves around the State from year to year. One year in Orlando, one year in Ft. Lauderdale/Miami, one year in JAX, one year in PENSACOLA . . . well, you get the point. And TAMPA too.
crazyjim Posted March 26, 2012 Posted March 26, 2012 We tried organizing the FLA builders with the Model Car Builders of Florida club last year (maybe year before). We had a couple dozen people doing an online thing and a few members met each other face to face. The club, sadly, was going nowhere. Fortunately, we were able to organize the Florida Auto & Scale Trucks (FAST) club and we're going strong.
Dr. Cranky Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Good to know, Jim . . . and could someone keep us informed of up and coming shows? Thank you.
MikeMc Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 OK, lets get one started in the naples-ft. myers area,, I'm in lehigh,,I dont know anyone in lee county doing model cars,,its all golf, planes, or RC,, Like to hear from some local builders,, Nothing else, maybe we can swap some parts and a couple good lies..HAHA.. I'm in Bonita Springs, so I'm game. let me get a list worked up...looks like 8 to 10 in this area already....now work schedules are another story.....
TedsModeling Posted March 27, 2012 Author Posted March 27, 2012 let me get a list worked up...looks like 8 to 10 in this area already....now work schedules are another story..... I'm in Naples, too. Since I started this thread, I guess I better step up to the plate. We should at least get an initial meeting together and discuss whether it's worthwhile. Mike - if you have a list of people and their locations, maybe you could tell us what's a midway point between us all.
TimKustom Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Definitely count me in. My work schedule doesn't really fluctuate, good ole 8-5pm M-F.
MikeMc Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 (edited) North Naples thru Estero.....I live out east of CR951 so I'm open.... I work 7 to 5 M-F Edited March 28, 2012 by MikeMc
rel14 Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 I'm in Lehigh,,ft myers,fl, been here about 40 some yrs,, only think i've seen is golf, RC, and more golf,, i don't even know anyone in lee county that does model cars,, it would be nice,, The hobby stores here are mostly trains, or RC, a few models,, As for a model club in this area,,that would be the greatest thing ever happen,,,
Tonioseven Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Hey. I work the graveyard shift but I could do meetings if they're local. I'm off on Wednesdays & Thursdays. Paradise Hobbies in Ft. Myers has a pretty decent selection of supplies and they can order kits as well.
MikeMc Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Tonio....was gonna pm you...but you saw this...I will PM Jason Mc. hes here in Naples...I work with one of his buddies...
