Vincent631 Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Hey now, I am 28 and just back into making model cars a couple of months ago. I found this forum and it looks like a good place to put up pics of what I'm working on or kits that I have just finished. When I was young I used to rush most of the time and just get the car done within one or two days. Now, I like to prep the parts and it takes much longer to finish a car. Also, I used to leave out some smaller parts that I didn't think were needed. Now, I like to finish a car with no left over parts and with as much detail as possible. This hobby can get expensive so, most of the kits I buy are from the A&C store using a 50% coupon. I also have a couple that I picked up at car shows. I will start to post pictures once I finish the car I'm working on.

JunkPile Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 If you think it is taking you much longer to finish a car now, just wait 'til you start trying some of the ideas you pick up here on the MCM Forum. Welcome

Shardik Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Welcome, Vincent. I suspect alot of us here have gone through the same progression; The more skills you develope the longer it takes to apply them all. I'm just now putting the finishing touches on my second completion of the year. You'll see, however, that rather than progressing to the point where mastery precludes ever completing a kit, there are several artists on this board who seem able to churn out miniature slices of scale reality at a mind boggling pace. I think you'll like it here. Looking forward to seeing what you're working on.
crazyjim Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 welcome Vincent. Don't forget to put your real name in the right spot. This would be the place to learn all kinds of neat things. Can't wait to see some of your builds (I'd personally prefer if they were shiny :) ).
