I suppose after 13 post and the fact that no one has told me to beat it and get lost that I should formally introduce myself. I started building in the early 70's , first build was the USS Arizona. I belonged to a model of the month club... forget which manufacture... sent me a different model every month so I built pretty much anything at that time. Long about the late 70's it was cars only, even built a few Chevy's and a Dodge. By the early 80's I was only building Fords, by the mid 80's I had quit building altogether.
In early 2007 I got a hankering to start building again after seeing what was now available out there. I had decided that this time I was going to build only dirt track stock cars...Ford, Mercury, Edsal and Lincolns 1955 and newer. Since there are only a very few kits that fit this criteria , I had to learn scratch building.
I scratch build with an emphasis on resin casting, which has become almost a second hobby for me. To be honest,if I had to do a strictly OOB it would be a challenge for me not to add to it in some way.
Like many of you, I have a few partial builds, too.
