Hello Model Cars members!

[jrherald420]

New guy here, i've been lurking for a few days now and figured i would introduce myself. Im a 30 soon to be 31yr old that has a sickness for plastic. I started building models at about age 10 and took a break through my early 20's......hard to do much when you can t see strait! lol

Got back into building when i was 25 then stopped again when my son was born 16 months ago. Sadly i lost my hobby room in our apartment and now can only spray paint outside when its not windy. I had a nice airbrush and compressor but needed the money for diapers (i'm a stay at home dad, its a lot cheaper than daycare!), also had to sell off all my R/C cars and trucks to make it. Things have got a lot better and i now have time since my son is more independent now.

I mainly build muscle cars but i also like building most forms of racing except Nascar. I just finished a Shelby GT350r and am now working on the 1/12 Shelby GT500. I look forward to my time here and watching all the builds! Thanks!

Welcome, James. Sounds like you have your hands full. Build when you can and visit here often. Lots going on and lots of good info. Look forward to building with your son when he gets older.

Thanks guys. I like the forum alot, seems to have good traffic. I was on a F1 model forum a few years ago but it wasnt anything like this. I dont remember the name, i lost all my websites for model parts and forums 3 computers ago. Megahobby is the only site i remember buying parts from. As far as buying kits i normally only buy them from Hobby Lobby when they have the 40% off one item coupon. Got to pinch the pennies where i can. I cant believe spray paint went up to 6.39, Testors paints are 1.89 and Model Masters run 3.89. I remember when my paints were 1.50 a can and .25 a bottle!!
