mercustom Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Getting back into the hobby after a twelve year or so hiatus. I built mostly 40's and 50"s customs but did a street rod once in a while.Before that I used to model cars with the Delaware Valley Scale Modelers in Pennsylvania in the 80's.I now reside in North Texas. I'm glad to see laquers making a come back (automotive laquer was all I used back in the day) and the kits seem to be of much better quality then I remember ,though the prices are much higher now. In the past month I have picked up a dozen or so plastic and resin kits. I've started on a Revell Merc and a Jimmy Flintstone cast of the Hirohata Merc. I'm glad I stumbled upon this forum, it looks to be very friendly, informative and full of great model builders. Hope to learn some things and to contribute where I can.

Jantrix Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Great to have returning builders. Looking forward to seeing your work.
Chris White Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Joe, I returned as well. Used to build this stuff as a kid, I enjoy it even more as an adult. This is my mid life crisis
mercustom Posted August 1, 2013 Author Posted August 1, 2013 This at least one of the cheapest midlife crisis' I could have chosen.I seam to be enjoying it more also, Probably because we can afford to get all the kits we want to now.
