Albie D Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Whats up everyone. My names Albie and I just found this site a few weeks ago. Its awesome! A little about me. Im 36 and been playin with cars (1:1) my whole life. Im currently building a 52 Chevy and a bodydropped, bagged 88 S10 Blazer. Im also into riding Harleys, tattoos, skiing and chasing girls (although at my age the girls have turned into women. Ha ha.) Anyway, a month ago I was skiing Killington, crashed into the woods and came out the owner of a left heel bone that is broken in half. Killer!! So, needless to say Im grounded, stuck in my house immobile. I hate TV and Ive read every book and magazine in my collection twice. I was goin crazy till I picked up some models. These are the first ones Ive done in 20 years and it probably shows. But Im hooked and been using this site for its great info, ideas, and the killer builds are getting me stoked. Heres the first 3 in cronological order. All done the past 4 weeks. Im in the process of a new one and Ill post it in the under construction. Revell 49 Merc. Box Stock. Lowered with way to much negative camber and wonky wheels. Crappy flat paint (My first 1:1 paint job was sucky too) 69 Nova box stock. Little better Edited March 13, 2012 by Albie D
jeffs396 Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Welcome Albie!!! Very nice builds, your skills haven't left you! Get well soon!
Albie D Posted March 13, 2012 Author Posted March 13, 2012 Thanks Jeff. I forgot how fun it is.. I cant seem to post anymore pics on this thread. I guess Ill start a new thread for the rest.
Gregg Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 The photos are HUGE!!! 1.6MB for each one!!! Can try and resize them, and see what happens. I think limit is 2GB, or something I will recheck settings. Nice photos!
Albie D Posted March 13, 2012 Author Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Thanks guys. Im resizing now. First post is always a doozy... Edited March 13, 2012 by Albie D
Chuck Most Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Love that Merc! Not a huge fan of Novas, but I really like the color combo on yours.
surfjunke Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Welcome to the forum & back into modeling, Albie. Great work for your first builds in years. Good luck & hope you heal up well & soon.
