Hello Fellow Modelers

Posted by Worldgpfan on Monday, December 8, 2014 12:35 AM

Hey everyone,

I'm a long time model builder but new to this forum and subject matter. I have been building 1/24 drag racing with some street vehicles and 1/20 indy car / formula one with some 1/12 motorcycles. I will be starting some 1/72 aircraft and a couple of 1/700 ships. I hope to pick some helpful hints on what i'm going to try and build.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you aboard!

I've been building for 68 of my 74 years and I build whatever strikes my fancy at the time. The guys are absolutely correct when they say you've come to the right place. Lots and lots of knowledgeable and helpful people on these Forums. Sooooooooooo, sit back, take a few sips of your favorite brew Coffee Beer Drinks Toast , and build away. Oh, don't forget to post pics of your builds.

Welcome. Try this:

Piet Hein (1905 – 1996)

Whenever you’re called on to make up your mind,
and you’re hampered by not having any,
the best way to solve the dilemma, you’ll find,
is simply by spinning a penny.
No — not so that chance shall decide the affair
while you’re passively standing there moping;
but the moment the penny is up in the air,
you suddenly know what you’re hoping.
