Hello from Jersey Shore
Posted by Thecat40 on Friday, February 24, 2012 7:46 AM

Hello everyone,

My name is Felix and I'm a plasticholic. Embarrassed

I started building models when I was 13. At the beginning it was Sci-Fi models and some cars. Then at the age of 17 I've stopped. That's when I discovered girls!! Stick out tongue

I got back into building models in 2000. At first, I mainly only built World War 2 planes. 

Then I moved into World War 2 Battleships, World War 2 and Modern Armor, Jets, and finally in the last few years I've been building Automobiles and some Motorcycles.

Since 2000 to date, I've built over 142 models (some where sold and can't remember how many) and they are as follows:

91 - Automobiles

3 - NASCARs

23 - Aircrafts

38 - Armor

3 - Motorcyces

5 - Battleships

2 - Sci-Fi models

I enjoy this hobby and the interesting people that I've met in this hobby. Learned allot from my fellow modelers, and I'm still learning new techniques and discovering some of my own. That's what makes this hobby so great!!! Geeked

Well, that's all about me. See you in the forum. Wink

Cheers Toast

Felix "The Cat"

Welcome Felix, from a former central Jersey Boy!  Quite the wide range of models, guess it helps fight burnout.  There's lots to learn here, and room for contributions from all.
