Hi from Kent (UK)

Posted by Kent Rider on Wednesday, April 7, 2010 2:56 PM

Hi, I'm Tony. I'm 46, and have been getting "Drastic with the Plastic" for most of my life.

I started (as most probably do) with the 1/72 Airfix Military aviation kits, then got into American trucks & cars for a few years at 16, before getting back into Military aviation kits & 1/35 Military modelling when I joined the RAF at 18. I wanted a change though when I came out of the RAF 12yrs later in '93, and have been building mainly ANYTHING that is TV & Movie related since then (lots of variety with that subject, LOL).

Here's a few of my builds...

"GOLIATH" from '80s Knight Rider TV Show..

Colt's Pickup truck from The Fall Guy TV Show....

Arnie from Terminator2...

Freddie from Nightmare on Elmstreet Movies...

Cool builds!

I can picture Heather Locklear's....big smiles Zip it! When I seen the 'Fall Guy' truck. Great series for the early 80's...Now how about the 'A-Team' van? I pity the fool who don't think Mr. T's van rocks!

Very gracious welcome guys.

Tony joined the forum five years ago.

And I really miss Frank (Daywalker), thought for a minute he was around again.

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
