Hello all :) It's been a few years since I built a kit,we had a fire in 2011 that was a total property loss--including models built and unbuilt,which kind-of killed my mood for building for a while,LOL (no one was home or hurt in the fire,it was just stuff,btw :) ). Anyways,after registering,being approved,and looking around,this looks like a place I will really enjoy,find motivation to build,and learn things too! I always had an interest in the types of builds I've seen going on here in the last day (just got "in" today) suit my tastes to a tee. It seems lots of other model building forums are predominently muscle cars,old hotrods,etc--those are fine (I've built many of each,and LOVE those too),but I'm more into what I see being built here in addition to those here (more tuners,exotics,race cars,foreign cars,etc),I've not seen enough of those elsewhere,if that makes sense.

Anyways,nice to meet all of you,and thanks for letting me join Admin/Mods. I've also sent a request to join the FB group ("Kick Buttowski" is my FB username,LOL,chosen by my son :-P ). I may be a bit getting started building,but I've been buying a few kits and supplies,hopefully it won't be long :)

Thanks,Allan :)

I'm still waiting on delivery of several kits from Japan (1 order from an eBay seller :wink: ),but I got a couple in this week :D Been itching to build,but have been pulling (what little) hair (that I have left) out trying to decide wheat to build first,knowing I have to be a bit rusty (it's been a 3-5 years),LOL,and have been overly busy the last week or so.

So tonight I cracked open a really basic snap kit (Revell) of a New Beetle,which I'm gonna build box stock,concentrating on some basic detail painting to get the mojo going again,LOL! Not a lot to these,so not gonn astart a WIP thread,but I'll make a finished thread to show what it looks like when done. Built box-stock with nothing extra,his is a 5-6 minute build,LOL,so if I can get time/op to over the weekend,I'll get it done :lol:

I'll like to see that BMW E30 and Mitsubishi Evo come together.
Planning on doing any special swaps or mods with any of them?

Thanks :) Not really planning anything special other than relearning basic construction,assembly,paint-work,and such....for now,just planning to refresh some long-lost skill (what little I once may have had :lol: ),get myself back into building,as it were,beginning at the beginning with simple things,the basics and rebuild myself from there :)
Here's a couple of pics of one of my old builds (lost in the house fire in 2011)...

Base kit was an old AMT '68 Roadrunner with the HEMI,kitbashed with a Revell '68 Charger RT (drivetrain,interior bits,narrowed-to-fit rear axle,wheels/tires,etc) to replicate a 1:1 383 car an uncle once owned.

Sorry I've neither been to the bench,nor on here much (please dont' delete me :lol: ),had LOTS going on around here,none of it very good,keeping me busy (or at least busy sitting around steaming about it :-P ). I may be starting on a tractor kit (as in,Kenworth road tractor) as well as a car kit soon though,soon as things settle down. Hope everyone's doing well and enjoying the summer so far :)

Thanks,IanRae :) I haven't touched any of them yet (any of my still-growing stash of kits,actually),we've had a lot of life stuff jump up (pretty much for the whole of 2015,LOL). The last week or so I've been tinkering on finishing a kit I must have started back around 2011 (after the fire we suffered,while still in the motel),I'll probably have it finished in the next 24 hours and make a thread for it. There's another kit that I found that I'd started (probably around early 2012)--we recently went through and unpacked a bunch of stuff that had been packed for a couple years,LOL--which I'll probably finish up after,but already looking to decide which (of those posted months ago in this thread ;) ) to start on next :)
