Hello everyone, I thought that I had introduced myself before but it seems that I haven't. My real name is Steve, I live in southern Arkansas, nine miles from the Louisiana border. I'm from the Knoxville, TN area, lived there most of my life but due to my dad's career, I've lived all over the eastern United States. If you see me mention Escanaba, MI (U.P.), Grant, AL, Guntersville, AL, Nashville, TN and here in Crossett, AR... I've lived there.
Anyway, I'm 62 years old, a United States Army (M.P.) Veteran and a 30+ year Law Enforcement retiree. I started building models when I was eight years old and continued into my 30's. I also raced stock cars as a hobby. I raced on dirt in east TN, and then on asphalt in middle TN, southern KY and north AL. I've also fished off and on since childhood so after I quit racing, I started fishing bass tournaments. I still love bass fishing, but no longer fish tournaments.
Every time we would go to Hobby Lobby, I would always look at the model cars and trucks. When my mother in law was looking for something else to get me for Christmas 2021, my wife said "get him a model car, he's always looking at them." And just like that, I'm back!
In addition to looking at models at Hobby Lobby, I've been a lurker here and at Fred's old site.
I'll stop now, but if anyone has any questions, fire away.
