New to the forums so I thought I would psot an intro before asking all of my questions!
Name; Ashton
Location Sacramento CA
Occupation; Bio-tech, currrently trying to become a CHP officer!
Intrests, restoring vinage VW’s and now building models and dioramas again!
Little about myself,
It has been about 12 years since I picked up a airbrush and went at it on a model…what peaked my intest again was wwhile I was cleaning out my garage I found a box full of models I never started or finsihed! Mostly Starwars stuff; The Millenium Falcon, cutaway version, X-Wing, speeder bike, Slave 1, and a P-51D mustang…quite the assortment!
So After going through all that I decided it is time to pick the hobby back up again! I look forward to chatting w/ you all and giving and looking for some good advice!
If you do make it into the CHP, please kindly ignore the white 350Z with the NV Reno Air Race license plates blazing through on I-80 like an ME262 intercepting a formation of B-17s [;)] [8)]
Welcome, Ashton! Since you are a fan of VW’s and a modeller, I’d recomend the book Volkswagen Military Vehicles of the Third Reich by Blaine Taylor. It is a really neat history and the illustrations are good. It’s worth the read if you can find it. Perhaps it might tempt you to add a few models of them to your shelf.
Thank you so much guys for all the welcomes! I am currently on vaction in AZ right now visiting my folks, so as soon as I get home I hjope to get started a post a few wip’s of what I have been working on! Thanks again!
