SA forum mbr since 2005, started model cars in '59 (ford galaxy), again in '73, again in '96, and continously since 2005. The hobby sure has changed over the years; glues, kits, paints, etc. Built a few planes and ships, but my favorites are mostly 40's thru 60's models that I build as street rods, mild customs, and gassers. Enjoy painting, detailing, and kit bashing (can't seem to build any box stock). Spent 20yrs (66-86) in the Army (ret), dirt track racing in Germany '72, vanner '76-82. Enjoyed SA mag and forum which taught me much and inspired me to better builds; looking fwd to the same from FSM. Hope to see familiar names fr SA in this forum.
