How did you discover/find the AF Modelling forum?

Hi all; I see several new names everyday and I started to wonder how we find our way to AF. I found it when I was asked to join by a visitor to my website who is a member here:smile:. The rest of you?

i found out thru searching google..... :D

I found the site while searching for a kit review of the Revell Texaco/History Porsche. I wanted to see if it was just my kit or all the kits had warping problems. This is where I found the information I was looking for (after I had finished the kit).

I've been reading here for about 3 months before finally joining.

i found out thru searching google..... :D

Ditto. Searching about PE parts, came up with an AF thread and the rest, as they say, is history.

i had heard about AF before, but never visited for more than a second. I joined in Sept. thanks to tonio! :bigthumb:

I knew about AF before, but knew it only for the 1:1 cars an tuning options. THen i got back into modeling and was searching google and saw that AF had stuff about models. :eek2: Imagine my surprise when i found everything i needed to know about models was here at AF. This is by far, the BEST place for model stuff. :rofl:

I joined through LamboCars.com (http://www.lambocars.com/page0.htm) Lamborghini FORUM (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=747)

Google (searching for modeling tips..)

I was looking too through the google searchengine, and came out eventually to the tony mattegliano ScaleModelIndex....

The rest of the story , you can all imagine.

I was doing a search for Nissan Skyline and than , after 5 years of not making Modells i started again and i love AF !! :rofl:

Google, was searching for a car modeling forum and AF was the first in the list.

I immediatly felt in love with AF and didn't searched further.

My friend Brian (aka Veyron) kept sending me pics from the gallery, I guess he had googled or dogpiled his way in by using search engines for cars and models. I found my way to the forum from the gallery...amazingly he hadn't done that yet! So I turned him onto the forum after he turned me onto the pics in the gallery! :smokin: :icon16:

Then I posted pics of my Focus tuner after joining and choosing a name, first thing off someone made sure I was "me" and not stealing images since they'd seen my models in the magazines :biggrin:

i had ordered a few bits from chris at sas and after a few emails he suggested i joined here and displayed my work. i have never looked back, have visited the site nearly every day since then

Through Google, I'm certain it was a search on Integras, or alike. Well, I ended up on pkw1's page, amd clicked on the forum page. :sunglasse

FerrariTR directed me

I search about the Pennzoil Skyline through Google and it show me AF modelling gallery. After seeing the gallery, I looked around the modelling forum and joined. :iceslolan :iceslolan

I was sent a link by Gundam1969, thanks Paul, my bank manager also sends his best as my overdraught due to buying models is putting his kids through college. lol

I found some SAS parts on ebay, followed the link in the listing to his site, bought some S2000 parts, asked some questions, and got directed here. So it's Flyonthewall's fault, blame him for my presence.

Like most of you - search engine. Best search result I've ever gotten!!! :smile:

I was walking throught the forest one day and tripped over a thong that said Automotive Forums.com. :banghead: When I got home, I did a google search, and here I am. :lol2:

one word : Google.

Wish I would have tripped over the AF thong, I hear they are hard to come by, funny you trip over one in the woods! LOL

I was introduced to AF through the Hobby Heaven message board by a link someone over their had posted. I am sure it was a regular from here who posts over there.

Chris

I found this forum while searching for reference pics to build my first Corvette C5-R, and found one by Steve Gibbons.

Same thing as me but I was looking for the Opel Astra Dtm.

When I bought my first moel car ever and I was looking at google for pics...I found PMan's R32...

That lead me to AF forums and I found myseld with 20(or more?)kits in less than a year...AF is bad for your pocket

:smokin:

I was at www.bimmerforums.com and someone linked into the BMW subforum, so I looked around this place, and I found the modeling, and I just stayed.

I found AF after looking for Primera/G20 stuff for my car. Posted here for a few months then one day i posted a thread about who builds model cars. Turned out to be quite popular.
After talking about it with a few of the old heads that were here,(Jay/Alex/Dan)... Jay emailed our leader Igor asking to start a modelling forum here at AF.... and the rest is now history :iceslolan :iceslolan :iceslolan

I found this great site by searching Skyline R34 pictures on Yahoo. :grinno: Now, I spend more time looking at you guys' work than building my own!!! :grinno:

yahoo.com and search for modelling tips. and I found this great forum!!

I joined through LamboCars.com (http://www.lambocars.com/page0.htm) Lamborghini FORUM (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=747)


Exact same way I first heard about AF. That seemed so long ago...

Same here, was looking for information on the TE37 and it took me to HonoTurtles AE86 thread, and I was like, "whoa, thats a model?" So I checked out the rest of the forum, and joined AF! I like the COT more tho :cool:

linked thru from the forums at www.granturismo.com, which has been down for several weeks :banghead: any other gtfers here?

on accident. :rolleyes: :) :lol2:

I got onto AF through an old forum I used to visit through a link posted by FOTW.

I found it via word of mouth from a friend quite a while ago, he's not a member just a browser, and I was too until I finally decided to start contributing. The FAQ's and How-To's helped me improve my modelling 110% - It's great to hear everyone elses tips'n'tricks.

I think I was searching yahoo for tips on painting.
