Started back modelling 10 ago and realized how much has changed since the 70's. Telling my age here. Well my main thing to build is vehicles (cars, trucks, motorcycles). About 5 years ago I was bitten by the scratch building bug and haven't looked back. I have recently scratch bulit a chopper (like the ones seen on Discovery Channel's American chopper). I also have scratch bulit off road trucks as well. Well it good to see a website as this will be using it alot more.

metalhead5,

Welcome to the FSM forums.

Nice to have another experienced modeler join the gang. Even though I build Armor, I would really like to see some of your scratch built work.

Don't worry about the age, metalhead5. All we care about here is the hobby and the brotherhood centered on it. We just joke about the thinning hair (or the lack of it) sometimes...LOL.

Anyway, welcome to FSM. Hope to see more posts from you.

Dude,
Went to your site and I'm amazed at your incredible work! Hey, Sherm, we need this guy to start building armor! Change him from metalhead to treadhead!

Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to reading some of your scratchbuilding how-to's.
