As I've been gently reminding....MassCar is here. If that's not convenient, we have Classic Plastic for the northern tier of Massachusetts and there's a little club in WMass, too. Anne, send me a private message and we'll get something co-ordinated. Charlie Larkin
Helix Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Thanks Anne. I raise my glass to you too. You'll find out in, oh... say a couple of years... after you've accumulated your "wall of unbuilt models" your box full of aftermarket stuff, the shelf full of paints and primers in every color of the rainbow, your ever-expanding tool collection, and on, and on, and on... that you will never live long enough to build everything. If you turn out like the rest of us, your skills will improve with each model over time (hopefully anyway) and each model will wind up taking you longer to build because you'll want to keep adding more and more details. Plus, just when you think you've bought every model that you want, the manufacturers keep coming out with newer and better ones. It just never ends... Absolutely!
disabled modeler Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Anne... With spring time weather coming don't forget garage sales and second hand stores are good places to look for models and good deals...been doing that for years.
