Hello all, I just joined though I have been building models periodically for years now. I grew up building model cars, my favorite, and attempting to paint them. I lacked the proper equipment to do a decent job and let the hobby go by the wayside. Recently I have been working night shifts and don't have a lot to do some nights and thought I would pick up modeling again.

I recently built a '49 Mercury Custom, a 1971 Plymouth Barracuda and am about to start a '93 Mazda RX7 FD3S (JDM). After that I will be doing a Shelby Mustang GT 350H, followed by a C6 generation Corvette and a 50's Slatbed Pickup.

I just picked up a TC-80 Series air compressor with a Master Airbrush Model G22. I have yet to use it but am quite excited. I don't exactly have a dry place to use it as I live in Florida where it is very humid.

I'll be doing a lot of reading on the forum and will contribute as much as I can with my limited knowledge and experience.

Welcome Sign  I have discovered the Fountain of Youth and it looks and tastes a lot like cyanoacrylate.
