I think I'm quitting

[evo8owner]

Allright,Thats It!
Those Car Club Guys Have A Point!
How Would It Look,A Bunch Of Narrow Minded P Ricks Being Outdone By A "Chic"! I Mean.....Come On!!(ROFLOL)
Do You Realy Want To Be Around People That Ignorant? It's Ther Loss,Not Yours!
I've Seen All Of The Models That You've Posted And If You Quit Due To Someone's Opinions,
That Would Be A Real Waste!!!!
I AM A Fan Of Your Work,And & I Know I'm Not The Only One!!!

So Think About This: Why Stop Doing What You Enjoy Because Of Someone Elses Stupidity?
A Girl That's A Gearhead And Builds Model Cars And There "Guys" Don't Like That?.....WTF!

Sorry For The Rant, Jake

If you quit, then " they" have won. As many others already have said, don´t let others put you down, if they can´t accept you, scr*w them. It´s their loss really! Just read the last sentence in the post right above mine " A girl that.."
I think that deep inside,you don´t really want to quit. And if you do put down the tools and supplies, i´ll bet my sharpest scalpel blade that the styrene-itch will come within a few weeks

If you enjoy building, keep doing it! No matter what you pursue in life there is going to be somebody who doesn't think you should. The more you see of these people (and I've seen quite a few) the more you realize that the joke's on them for being too bitter to enjoy life - while you get to do something that you enjoy.

If they're making you miserable in a hobby, ignore them not the hobby!

honestly, the A&M guys seem ike idiots and yeah I'm sure it's because their egos can't take the fact that a girl probably knows more about cars than they do. I've enjoyed a lot of your work, you really have a talent with models. It would be a shame to let it go to waste because of other people's actions. I hate to see any modelers, male or female, give up the hobby. Stick in there kid!

[americanmuscleman]

dont quit, u have some really nice models. and it dont matter if ur a chick, i wish my girlfreind built car models lol

[mustanglxboy]

im with american muscleman on this one my gf thinks im retarded because i build models but i dont care. Dont give up because someone else is dumb.

WTF, why would you give up something you like doing? That would be like giving up sex. I was once told, if it feels good and it's not hurting anyone then do it. Build for yourself Kat, that is the best advise I can give. If I take a built model to a competition and I don't win I'm not going to stop building thats for sure. We all have bad days, move on and keep building.

I've had my back turned on by the car club at A&M, and even the local car buddies back home whom I've known for years are treating me like crap. I am just sick of it.

I will let you all know when/if I decide to sell my kits.

You think TAMSCC people (or anyone else that I know) thinks less of you because you are a girl? That is not the case at all.

And no one "turned their back on you" in TAMSCC. Despite what some people on this site say, we arent idiots (well, execpt for mike and silverstang). Just because we arent all drag racers and model builders doesnt mean we are bad people.

Don't let a few A Holes ruin your enjoyment of life and the pursuit of happiness through your hobbies.

It's one thing to move on because you lost interest or something else came along to steal your modeling time. But just because there might be some irrational jealousy isn't a good reason to put down the superglue.

We have a female in our club who we have a great time with, she's a whole lot easier going than her husband and she's an awesome builder and a lot of fun to be around. We really miss her when she's not at a meeting. She knows her cars too. I can honestly say there is no prejudice against her at all in our club.

Screw Texas if they can't take a joke. Move to Atlanta and you'll have the time of your life .

Don't make us come beat you.

Kat, don't quit, you are a great role model for all of us to look up to in our builds. We love having you around, you are fun and friendly. If by some reason you do leave, don't stop building, use models as an escape from those that look down upon you for doing something you enjoy. Fight the man and hit him in the effing balls if need be.

[white97ex]

you can't leave. we would be lacking with your pro touring expertise, and superb builds. like everyone has said, build for yourself and your enjoyment......what all was said or in what ways do you feel you were done wrong? if you dont mind me asking?

[jswillmon]

Come on now you live in the south, you should be used to things like this by now. LOL
I don't build for any one else, before AF only my friends would see my models. Not a single one of them gave a shit unless they owned the car I built. Keep it up girl, you have a great attitude and build great models. Hell you build better than half of us here, I can't even finish a model lately.

Plus, seems like the dude with the enzo likes your modeling. I would be more concerned with his opinion.

First and foremost you should be in this hobby and building models for yourself, not to impress the guys down at the local IPMS. I for one and, I think most of the guys on this forum, have total respect for girl modelers. Its very refreshing to see so I'll add my name to the petition to stop you from putting down your scalpel.

well put, dont worry about what people say or the way they treat you, fuck them, just do what you love, start your own club. dont quit

[Hiroboy]

I must be honest, I also didn't realise till a few weeks ago you were one of our Female modellers. Your work is 100%, so don't let the bastards get you down .
The guys I work with alway make a joke everytime a new model arrives at work, about them being toys and they stopped building at 14 years old, but do I care ? Hell No............

[danowat]

Feel for me, not only do I build models, at the age of 31, but I am also a Flight Sim fanatic, double whammy LOL, I get all the stick about toys and anoraks!!.

To be honest, I couldn't care less if you're male, female, alien, animal, vegetable or mineral, all people are equal in my book.......

I also didnt realise that you were female till now, and all I can do is echo what everyone else has said, if you enjoy it get on doing it, and just flick the "v"'s to everyone else who thinks otherwise.
