MBXPilot Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Hello! Just thought I'd make a quick post to say hi on this awesome looking forum! I'm a diecast collector mainly. I collect vintage Lesney Matchbox cars, as well as restoring and customizing them. I built a few plastic models years ago, but have largely gotten away from that side of the hobby, till now! I dug a model out of the box and have started working on it, and remembered how much fun model building can be. I'll be posting a thread about it soon. I'm a broke college kid and flight instructor, so I don't have the high end tools and paints that most of you guys do, but I make do with what I've got! I've got a pretty decent following on my diecast restorations, I'm pretty proud of my skills there, and I'm hoping they will transfer over to plastic models haha. I have a blog for that stuff if you're interested.. www.ladiecast.blogspot.com Thanks guys! You'll definitely be seeing posts from me soon.

MBXPilot Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 I'm going to be out of town this weekend unfortunately. Do you all have meetings or shows often?
Austin T Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 The show is only once a year sadly,but we do have monthly meetings, grab some info here. I'm also a poor college kid by the way, not many people our age build.
MBXPilot Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 Well dang. I'll definitely try to make the next monthly meeting then.
slusher Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Welcome Logan, does not take to much to build a model.
MBXPilot Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 Lots of folks from Tennessee looks like! I just flew into Cleveland the other day.
