Hi everyone, would like to introduce myself. My name is Scott, 30 yrs old from northern WI. Getting back into the hobby after about 12 yrs. First got into the hobby from my dad and to uncles that were avid model car builders.
Little story behind getting back into it. My Gf was looking for a valentines gift for our 8 yr old boy. She was at the local hobby shop and called me to ask what to get him. I told her to grab him a snap together model. When she arrived home she presented me with a Steve Kinser Revel sprint car kit. I started youtubing model cars and found a bunch of videos and eventually found my way here. I had her pick me up some essentials to start off with. I remembered a kit I had started before I quit the hobby. Its a polar lights Big John funny car. I had almost everything painted and started putting it together. (I'll post some pics soon). Anyway the boy loved the model and
had it put together in a few hrs. She took him a few days later back to the hobby shop so he could pick up another one. Looking forward to sharing this hobby with him as the way my dad did with me.
Anyway, love the community here and am looking forward to be part of it. I'm once again hooked with this hobby. Been looking into airbrush kits and building a work station in my man cave. I have subscribed to the magazine, also bought both of DR. Crankys books. Thanks for reading my rambling.
