A little about me: I have always liked working with my hands. Built a few models when I was a kid, meaning less than 10. I have been working in auto parts for 30 years, minus a couple of years off to be a bench jeweler and to run heavy equipment digging swimming pools. I have a penchant for working on things and restoring or refurbing them, be it a classic car, bicycle, toaster, or vintage furniture. I love it all.
I have basically been priced out of everything except model cars, so that is where I would like to spend some time.
I am confident that I can build a good model. I am a great "assembler". What I would like to accomplish through modeling as an adult is the ability to "think outside the box".
I want to test my creativity through the medium of model cars and push my limits. I want to become proficient with painting, putty, casting, and the like.
I am happy to be on the forum and look forward to learning from and interacting with fellow members.
Best regards, Mark

Welcome to CMS, Mark! You can either test the waters with a small parts count kit or just jump right in the deep end with a full detail kit. We are here to help you! BTW, I'm sure you recognize the handle from SA Forum. Enjoy and see you on the forum!

Welcome Mark. I wouldn't worry about having to work tomorrow as it'll pay for more kits or at least thats how I view it, sorta a necessary evil, lol
