I just got into it, Im on my first one in more than 14 years. Its pretty awesome its already turned into an obsession. I found a great forum for model builders if anyone here does them.

 

Yes but only Ford Trucks.
Mostly in winter time, I am too busy in spring and summertime.
Just finished (well almost, need to install front bumper , and 1 headlight is missing ) AMT Ertl 1994 Ford F-150 Lightning 1/25, 2 months ago.

 

yep i do, not as much as when i was younger but i still putter with 'em. finished a '69 camaro last year. now working on a peterbilt.
my son wwanted to try some so that got me back into them, building together makes great time spent together.

 

i used to build a ton of them, but haven't done one in a while. My uncle builds model railroad cars. Every time i'm over there there's trains on the counter, on the dinner table, etc.

 

Right on, Ive really gotten into it. This is my first real try at detailing. its the ****pit out of my Apache Im putting together.

 

thats cool. I try to convince my brother that he should paint the parts before he puts the whole thing together.......but Noooooo.

 

i cleaned out my closet last week and came across an old box of model cars i puttogether during those long summers as a student under 16. i think im going to staying playing agian

 

Its worth getting into. Im going to go pick me up an air brush tomorrow. Ive spent the day rebuilding my workshop to be a mecca of model building.

 

I havent made one yet but Iam planning on starting. I saw a few at the mall that I really would want to make. Like Lightnings and mustangs. There is also this cool lowrider one that actually has hydros. I think I will buy one next week.

 

LOL I saw a Revell Lightning Model, I picked it up to read the specs and was very suprised to learn that the 99 Lightning has a Super CHarged 4.6L V-8....

Wish theyd do a little more research sometimes.

 

Swofford,

I was wondering where you are buying your model kits in Spokane? My Step-sister owns/operates Columbia Cycle and hobbies on N. Monroe. From what my step-father tells me they can special order any models for you on-line. From what I saw at the shop when I was there a few years ago there are alot of people into the models in your area. I guess it has something to do with the cold and snowy winters. I attended the U of I in Moscow quite a few years back so I'm familiar with your weather. Down here cold is 50 degrees not 10 or 20.

I used to build them when I was a kid, then I started again about 5 years ago. I must have at least 30 kits, in various forms of completion I know I have all of the late model 150's that are out, even got the HD-150 with motorcycle and trailer, (nice kit!!) How about that forum link?,,,,98

There ya go 98, I havent looked through the entire site yet, Im usually reading over the air plane forum.

 

Thanks, Swofford.
I'm going to go check it out now. My ex used to say I wasn't right in the head because I put so much detail into the kits I built. Of course I eventually found out she was the one who was not quite right, LMAO!!!,,,,,98
Thanks again
