I started when my bro showed me how interesting building models were when I was around 13years old and in middle school I was in a model car club. Getting more info on building cars and wining contests there.

Assembled and raced Tamiya Mini 4WD cars when I was around 9 or 10. Then got into building Super Deformed (SD) Gundams with my brother and started building some larger Gundams when I became older. After watching Formula 1, I was interested in building a Ferrari F2000 and I bought one, and got into model car building since then.

I got interested when I was seven years old watching my older brother muck up a 1/8 scale trans-am. I picked up one to actually build when I was around twenty two. I liked building my dream cars.

I was given a bunch of built-ups when I was quite younger and the rest is blurry!!
:alien: I've been building off and on for the last 25 years or so! I just don't blow them up with firecrackers anymore!

I just really got into cars, then I found the AF car modeling board and decided to try it.
I was hooked.

Went over to my friend Jaxson's house where he showed me his C5R Corvette. Couple weeks later, went to the hobby shop and bought a Tamiya 300ZX, X-18, and X-11, plus a Testors starter kit. The rest is, well, history.

I got interested when i was about 8 or 9. My uncle had a collection of model cars and i loved them. So i started my very first model when i was about 10 or so. It was a WT90 Camaro Snap-Fit model by Lindberg manufactured in 1982. I still have it but it's in pieces
