New to the forum, and back to Scale Models.
Hi everybody! My name is Mike and I live in central Canada. I used to love building models when I was a kid but like so many of us, life got in the way. It's been about 20 years since I built my last one as a teenager and I sure missed it.
Over the last few weeks doing some research I have discovered how much has changed in this hobby (gotta love the internet). Anyway all this has certainly helped to renew my interest again. I love the real American Muscle Cars and all types of Aircraft but won't limit my modelling interests to just those. I plan to build some tanks and ships too. The biggest obstacle I will find is time, as there just isn't enough hours in a day.
I am fortunate to have set up a room in the basement that is our "arts and crafts room" so it's a room with a purpose and great place to work. For spray painting etc I can go out to my heated workshop as we have long cold winters with temps in the -30's. It's also the place were I restore my real world cars. I have basically been a "car guy" since I was 5 years old, and although I admire and appreciate all old cars, and my favorites are the Muscle and Pony Cars of the 60's and early 70's.
Anyway I'm looking forward to lots of reading here, and posting the occasional question when I get stuck or need help.
