Hi all. Just wanted to introduce myself to all the members, many of which I've known for years as a long time plastic modeler. I'm most likely the oldest member here, if not I'm darn close at 76 year old, but I'm still at the bench most days, and the other days I'm working on my Model Railroad. So having the Site hosting forums for both is a real plus for me as the MSC can finally be my online modeling home. For the last ten years give or take a few I've been basically a race car modeler, so my scales of choice have been 1/24 and 1/20. I thought I'd post a few of my finished builds so you can get an idea of my basically OOB build style these days. Last build completed was the Fujimi 1/24 scale 1969 Wyer Gulf Ford GT40 Mk II parked next to a earlier build of the Fujimi 1/24 scale Wyer Gulf Porsche Daytona 917 ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/1153/ExR4kn.jpg) The build right before was the old Hasegawa 1/24 scale curbside Porsche 962C Kremer version with the separate tail ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/7863/4Z8dX8.jpg) and a few F1 builds The Tamiya 1/20 scale Lotus Type 79 ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/2960/O8JLoF.jpg) And finally the Tamiya 1/20 Lotus 99t ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/4965/hfJ2EA.jpg) Thanks to all for taking the time to check out some of my builds. It's always much appreciated. joel

Pretty sure that on this forum 76 puts you just slightly above average! Here we have most of the Moderators gathered. ![](https://wellsgenealogy.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/file4143.jpg) Oh... and Kyle ![](https://i.pinimg.com/474x/6b/a2/bd/6ba2bdc21038be6189f251e7ace636f1.jpg)

Tcoat, Great looking bunch of Mods. I'd fit right in except I don't have a beard. And I didn't realize that Kyle was that young, but he's still an excellent modeler with true IPMS adult skills.

Adrian, Same here. With so many of us coming over, the move became a must for me too. As you can see I accidently posted my intro in your post for some strange reason. So today l made a proper one in the correct place with an additional two pics of F1 cars: The Lotus 79 and Senna's Camel 99t.

I'm pretty much out of touch with things this whole year. I understand Joe. I feel the same way alot of times myself. Little to no bench time or even spare time at all. Just keep hoping things will even out.

Tobi Great to meet you. And thanks for that compliment, it's much appreciated. joel My dad turned 74 this year, but he has never been a modeler. I got infected by my Grampa at the age of six or seven. He wanted to try out a lot of things when he went into pension, so he built one 1/24 Stuka, perhaps Airfix? Then he went on to something new, gave me the color jars and brushes and my Grandma went with me buying a model plane and glue. Revell 1/72 He162 Volksjäger. I remember like yesterday, that is roughly forty years ago now. Boy, got I scolded when my fingers were full of paint again and again, whole elementary school time... LOL
