Wow! This forum has rekindled my interest..

I just got into the hobby, but hit a kind of speed bump as I'm waiting for my big order of paints to arrive. :) Anyway, I was rather disappointed with the lack of modern car model forums - I visit RMS (rec.models.scale) regularly, but it's mostly armor/airplane/classic American auto over there. And that's pretty much the case everywhere else on the web.

Now I find a forum that builds the kind of cars I'm interested in. :) This is such a gold mine!

Anyway, thought you'd like to know what models I'm working on. Right now, this:

and

My first model was the Tamiya 300ZX, it's finished but looks horrible! Oh well, first one's the worst anyways. :)

Also have done a Subaru WRX STi (noticeably better than the 300ZX, but still rather iffy).

My stash: Mazda 787B, Toyota GT-One TS020 (full view), Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI New Zealand version, and Telefonica Suzuki RGV 2000.

Well, that's all about me. I look forward to posting on this board a lot in the future. :)

Welcome along to our forum....theres plenty of info and stuff to read....have fun.

Couldn't see your pics...you only need[img] not the whole word.:D so i changed them for you.

Good to see a bike being built.....would be the only one so far !!!

:cool: I used to watch r.m.s often, but it was really hard for me to find thing I was interested in on r.m.s, too. :( I should post our address there more often... :thinkerg:

Welcome. Pics are good. ;)

Do a thread on the bike too. I'm thinking I might try one some day.

Hell yeah, modern is where we are at!
Warren knocks out lots of modern stuff, though he had a funny turn recently and is doing some dodgy Willy thing!!!

The rest of us like the modern stuff, especially the race cars or Japanese GT stuff!
A few do the 70's Muscle cars which have a special look, but something I don't do yet!
Post some pics of what you have, it is good to see how you progress! We all started once too!

SUP. nice to see new faces

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I appreciate it :)

I don't have a digital camera right now, but I am getting one, and actually my scanner just decided to start working today :) So I will see to try to getting some pictures of my Subaru on here :)

My local hobby shop has some old junker Tamiya Mercedes and Saab cars, from like the mid-80s, that even HLJ doesn't list! They're around $30 each, if you're interested, just tell me and I will see waht I can do :)

Anyway, here's to great modelling in the future!

Im also interested what model is it? Saab 900?

turmio, flyonthewall, not quite sure, but this gives me a great excuse to drop by the hobby shop tomorrow :D hopefully I'll remember to check when not ogling the new 350Z :devil:

Went today. My memory must be getting bad :confused: didn't see any Saabs, but I did see several really old Tamiya Mercedes Benz's (1982, I would estimate)

Sorry! :(
