New Member Here

Hello everyone. Just wanted to say hello and say a bit about myself. I'm 33, married with 3 kids (12,5,1 1/2 yrs old). I have been building models for about 23 yrs off and on. I would like to thank sk8ter_in_ny for telling me about this site. Between my family and working 6 days a week as a patent bindery line operator I don't get alot of time for model building but I do it when I can. Hope to learn and help when I can. I primarily build mopar muscle cars but also build bugs for my wife (her favorite) and those wild custom models like the AMT Li'l Gasser Car I am currently working on now. Talk to everyone later.

Im new to so, but welcome to the site...if i can say that...ive been lurking on here for about half a year and i love it. It got me hooked on models again, something i stopped doing for about 4 years. I have a complete supra and im working on the tamiya 300zx right now.

:wave: Welcome to AF, Marc! :D

Hello Race. My boy is the 5 yr old, the other 2 are girls. My oldest girl (12) is already doing models, has been for about 3 years now. She is currently working on the Mystery Machine kit from Polar Lights. She got hooked watching me putting mine together and asking what the parts were and before long she was telling me where the parts were and helping me pick out colors to paint the models. My wife has even build a couple kits now. I'm getting them all hooked, hehehehehe. My wife even picks out some of the models that I buy.

We look like nice people dont we? Well still be careful there are flamers here

Flamers = Jerks, and Assholes


Welcome:sun:

Welcome Marc,

I've only been here a week or so, but there's all kinds of great pics and discussion here. My boy is only 9 months, so he's a bit young for the 'bench' yet.

Do you mean the Volkswagen Beetle? I am building a Tamiya New Beetle right now. Would be great if you are able to post pics of your built "bugs" (beetle or not) models to share. Personally, I love the beetle. :)

Welcome to AF, its great to see new modelers here. I look foward to hearing about your projects.:D

welcome to AF :D nice to hear your family enjoy doing kits too..

G'day and welcome to AF, nice to see you like Mopars! I currently have a 70 T/A Challenger, 70 Roadrunner, 71 Hemi Cuda drag car & a 70 Superbird on the way.

Remember to read the FAQ if needed. Check out the AF model gallery too :D

Kids hungry...no clothes...no toys etc etc ....but your model collection will be huge !!

Welcome along...injoy your stay :)

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. Lets see if I can answer a few questions:

Race-married 13 years now (OMG has it been that long lol)

Honoturtle-sorry no camera yet:mad: ,my first car was a 1973 Dodge Dart Swinger with a 360-4 man I miss that car.

Murray-My daughter got the bug just watching me when she was little, thats all it took.

Shieldwulf-yes I was refering to the Beetle but she likes the older ones, I even got the Lindberg 1:12 Luv Buggy kit for her that I need to get started on.

Lowryda-are those kits or the real thing, if they are 1:1 cars can I sleep in your garage lol

Primera man-too late, I have about 100 unbuilt mopar models alone, I'm to afraid to count them all, still looking for more. I am looking for a 68 Charger with the correct side marker light moldings.

Marc

Hope you'll enjoy this forum as much as I do... the best for car lovers yet.

I'm working on a 69 Charger R/T kit, it'll be ready soon, I was planning to do it metalic blue with flames on the fenders and the hudge hood of this babe... paint isn't done yet, so I can change my mind but I won't. Frame is 100% completed with the motor in it and interior is on it's way.

Hi! Welcome to AF. :D
