The 2 greatest of all time in my humble opinion, Michael would be in the mix as well, his raw talent was undeniable.

Welcome from down under mate. Those are magnificent builds and I've already learnt something from you! Now I know what you car peoples mean by 'open wheelers'. Can you tell I don't build autos???

Well I finally took the plunge and joined the modelers Social Club after a few emails with Kyle, and a few other members I've known for several years. For those of you who don't know me, I'm most likely the senior member at 76 years old. And I'm basically a race car modeler whose work these days are mostly OOB with a tad of detailing. My last build was the 1/24 scale Fujimi 1969 Daytona Gulf Wyer Ford GT40 Mk II car. Here's a picture of it seating next to another Fujimi 1/24 Wyer Gulf car; their Porsche 917 car. ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/1153/ExR4kn.jpg) and the build before was a Hasegawa 1/24 scale Porsche 962 C, the last Kremer version with the separate rear wing. ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/7863/4Z8dX8.jpg)

I was looking at those Salvino modern Indy car kits and getting the itch I must say - I know railway has your attention right now and I know what that's like but I would love to see you tackle one of Salvino's Indy kits and let me know how they are ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Thank you sir, I am glad to have been invited to the show ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I do like the increased amount of activity compared to other groups I've been a part of. I tend to build in a 3 month timeline for most projects so it's nice to see lots of activity ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Sorry joelw, I think I have you beat by 7 years. I started building models in 1946 (6 years old) and never stopped. I build anything that strikes my fancy and my wallet says OK. My favorites are WWI & WWII planes followed by Sailing Ships. Built a few "racers" as I was a "Drag Racer" for a few of my younger years. Couldn't drive the car I raced back and forth to work too so my career ended. Built some street rods and customs too. Look forward to seeing your work. Stay safe. Jim

Jim Jim, Always nice to meet modelers from our era as the ranks slowly but surely have been shrinking over the last few years. Since I wasn't even born until 1947 you're definitely the senor member here. I use to build just aircraft from WWII to present day when I was into IPMS and our local club. The last few years there I just kind of morphed into Tamiya race cars, and once the club moved to the next county the trip to make the meetings just didn't work for me. Now that I'm retired, I don't see so good due to retina disease, and only drive locally, so this site has become my new "club" and I'm really enjoying myself here. joel

Bradely, Thanks so much for the welcome, and the thumbs up on my modeling. It's greatly appreciated. You can see my current build blog; Tamiya's 1/24 scale Williams FW07 and other outstanding builds in the Open Wheel GB. joel

Joelw, I know the feeling. I started a small club with 7 other guys in the area I used to live in. We kept it going for about for about 10 years until the wife and I moved about 3/4 of an hour away to a retirement village. It was OK as long as I drove back there to car pool to contests but the first time I asked to be picked up was the last time. It was too far for them to come even though I live right near the turnpike entrance they take to go to the contests. We used to meet, have breakfast, go to the contests and stop for dinner on the way home. They don't text or call anymore. I do run into them if we're at the same shows. I try to get to the contests but don't make it sometimes. I go to MosquitoCon in N.J., Marauder Con in Virginia and PennCon in Carlisle Pa. They are all IPMS and I've been a member for many years. Stay safe. Jim

Jim, I know that feeling all to well. I've lived almost all my life on Long Island except for a few years in Tidewater Va. My brother and one guy Bobby that we met at the Syosset Squadron Shop became friends, as a group of us hung out there, learned a lot about modeling as the store manager Terry had pretty high standards as to what models got to be displayed and which ones weren't, but always explained what we did wrong or just didn't do. My Brother and the original friend Bobby formed the LI IPMS chapter that met in Nassau county, then several years later as a good many of us live in Suffolk county formed the Suffolk chapter. Over the years the membership changed with new people while the older, original members retired, moved, couldn't drive that distance any more, or passed away. While the club still exists as one chapter now, I haven't been a member for many years do to work and health issues. So these days my clubbing is done here, and it's been the best internet move I've made. joel
