Impalow Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hello all! I have been lurking around for awhile, decided to finally create an account. In what seems to be a common theme, I was heavy into building when I was younger and am now revisiting the hobby. I attended the Detroit NNL a few months back with a friend and became instantly re-hooked. The last models I built were about 16-17 years ago, my intrest in the hobby in my teens drove me to a career in the design field. Ten years ago i graduated from the Art Insitiute of Pittsburgh with Bachelor's degree in industrial design, with a major in automotive design. Shortly after graduating I obtianed a design career in the Exhibit and POP display industry, the career has been great, but i do miss playing with cars. I still have my 1:1 scale toys, but the small ones are more budget and time friendly. Here is my 1966 impala, I purchased this car when i was 17 (oddly when my modeling days stopped) Try to upgrade it every couple years, last year the I did the interior of the trunk. My daily, which is basically a post apocalyptic model... just 1:1 scale. Revisiting this hobby has been a great release of creative energy and ideas. I will be creating a project log for the 1950 Ford Showrod pickup I am building, excited to see some feedback and make new friends in the modeling world!

JTalmage Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Welcome. Love how cleanly done the Impala is... and the Neon is hysterically awesome too. I too had the same trouble... turned 17, and somehow forgot how to build model cars... ended up with 2 mustangs and a plymouth scamp in 1:1. Went all the way up to 4 mustangs, a Lincoln, and my pickup truck before I downsized a little. Now trying to get back into the hobby again.
