Hello and welcome carbocher.... I like your forum name. 
I too started as a car guy but since being here I started participating in some of the group builds involving ships, armor, aircraft, etc.
Perhaps we could start a group build in a car or wheel related theme. Perhaps something like American wheeled vehicles would work. This would allow those still wanting to build millitary and those wanting to build comercial or muscle cars could all participate.
Anyway just a thought. Once again, welcome and glad to have you here...
Ben
