53Suburban Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hello from a new member from the San Francisco bay area. I've been building all sorts of models since the early or mid-50s. I started off with ships and airplanes, including the rubber band balsa and tissue paper one, then into military stuff and HO trains, then on to model cars in junior high. I stayed pretty much with model cars through high school and when I was in the Army. I took a break from modeling from about 1967 until around 1970 or 71. Built a few model cars during that time and then around 1985 I became "re-obsessed" with model trains. Got tired of that after about 10 years and started modifying 1:6 scale action figures and fashion dolls. Got back into model cars again about 3 or 4 years ago. I recently discovered two boxes of "survivors" I had built ranging in age from high school builds up to the 1970s and 80s. What a trip down memory lane that was. Most of them were in pretty good shape for their age. Hope to be able to contribute as well as learn here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
