New member. A number of years back I bought a model on-line. Inside the box was an invitation to join this forum. I am just now getting around to it. Thanks for the invitation! I am 61 years old and enjoy building model cars, but dabble in just about anything else. I've been married for 37 years and my sweet wife puts up with my hobby. Most of my cars are now in storage, but I occasionally get the urge to pull them out and enjoy happy memories. I'm looking forward to browsing the forum.
Thanks,
John

Really glad to have you here John!! Looking forward to seeing your builds. What decades of cars/ autos are you in to? It varies. It's usually late 60's and early 70's, but I've built the early 1900's through modern. I had a goal to build an Impala of every year, and am close. I'm working on converting a '68 to a 4 door to replicate my first car, and I converted a '61 to a 4 door, one of my earliest memories of family car.

What do you enjoy building? I'll usually build pretty much any auto from the 20's on up to recent day if the subject catches my interest. I also build aircraft in 1/48 scale. Subjects there are almost always WWII Axis with a few American aircraft in the mix. I'm getting ready to start a 1/48 Monogram Kingfisher with a 3D printed update set.

Welcome!! Your collection of Chevies is impressive! Thanks so much! I was trying for all of them, 1955-1974, but there are some that are unobtamium. I picked up a resin '73 but it is so rough that I don't know if I've got the skills to handle it.
