Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Hey guys, I actually stumbled across this site the other day and thought it was cool. I became a huge car guy back in high school and for the past 10-12 years I've been slowly amassing a huge model car collection. As of now I have around 50 cars in the collection and plans on aquiring 40-50 more. My goal is to have one of every model of muscle car, as well, as some hot rods, 50's cars, and cruisers. I'd like for any children I have in the future to know that cars used to have good looks and lots of power. I also want them to know what it's like to ride in one, which is why I'm restoring a classic Chevelle. I love the work of some of the modelers on here and it's already given me some ideas. I also like that I can find out about new models on here and let people know about what's out there, as it can be frustrating trying to aquire certain models. In addition to model cars I also enjoy building model airplanes. It's actually what I started out building as a child because my dad was a pilot in Vietnam and he always had model aircraft around. I'm also an artist, so look for some of my art in the art section. I have a huge archive of my auto art and I'd like to show some of it off.
PappyD340 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 WELCOME to the forum Eric, well you stumbled onto the best modeling site on the Net (IMHO), looking forward to seeing some of your work, what part of NC?
DrewCfromSC Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 welcome, there are some really talented modelers in the Carolinas. Where are you? im in the Columbia area of South Carolina. theres a show in Spartanburg in a couple of weeks. Might be worth checkin gout if you can. PM me if interested or see the post in the shows category. Drew
Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 I'm in the Myrtle Beach area. I live just across the state line just outside Calabash, NC. The show sounds cool, but I'm short on cash now. My hours aren't the greatest at work, and neither is the pay. I'm working on finding something new. In addition to that I'm in the process of moving into a new place, and I have to travel to Charleston sometime to see my mother. As for my art, I've got some posted in the art section now. Once the move is over I may post some pics from my collection, but my space is going to be limited at my new place so I may have to keep things boxed up.
