Hi, my name is Roger, I'm a 63 yr old UPS retiree from southwestern IN. I like all kinds of models but especially autos. I have been modeling off and on since age 9 (mostly off) but recently returned about 2 yrs ago. Two yrs ago this coming July my sons bro-n -law was killed in a single car accident and left his parents with the burden of funeral expenses. Friends and family joined together to have a benefit dinner and silent auction. Wanting to participate I decided to build a model for the auction with the notion that this would add a little personal touch to the donation. I dug out a Quaker state Steve Kinser kit to build (ironically green was Zacks favorite color). I currently have finished 12 models since and have 6 or so in various stages of completion. Don't get to model as often as I'd like as I work 3 days a wk and other little life interferrences keep me away from the bench. Another problem is I don't have a dedicated place to paint so I have to rely on good weather to paint outside, my wife graciously gave up some kitchen space where I could put my small work bench. I consider myself at best a 20 ft. modeler (looks good from 20 ft away ) but never the less enjoy the satisfaction I get when I finally do complete a model. I really enjoy forums such as these as they often provide inspiration and provide some great eye candy as well . Thanks again, Roger Seaton

Welcome to the club, Roger. I'm glad you made the jump. Listen, these guys are all great here. No only are they great inspiration but can help you out if you in a pickle almost every single time.
Would love to see some of your projects when you have some time. In the meantime, start commenting on some of these great builds these folks have under way.
