    Hi Bob,

    A zoo keeper,heh? Me too! At least when I was working...I'm now retired. I spent 37 years as a teacher in high school. That qualifies as a zoo in the eyes of most folks.

     

    Seriously though....nice to find another Dino modeler! I've been building Dinos for about 15 years and I really like the Tamiya kits. Most recently I bought an Albertosaurus, a vinyl kit that looks like it will be a ton of fun!

     

    I'd like to see pics of your Dinos or anyone else's, for that matter!

     

    Why I like to build Dinos:

    1). No decals to silver.

    2). Really hard for a rivet counter to bad mouth since there are not any rivets.

    3). No one can say my paint scheme is wrong.

    4). The "landing gear" don't have to be aligned perfectly.

    5). If someone tries to pick up the model during a show they'll get bitten!

    6). The Dino model is house-broken...the real critter is not.

    7). No metalizer finish to worry about.

    8). They scare the mice away from the other models in the display case.

    9). Very few parts and no photoetch to get lost in the carpet

    10). No canopy framing to mask off and paint

     

     

    I was a real zookeeper before this job. I was a Marine for 21 years before I retired the first time.

    Hey everyone,

     

    My name is Bob and I live in High Falls, NC. I have recently joined IPMS and the local chapter in Asheboro, NC. I work at the NC Zoo in Asheboro as a zookeeper.

    I have just recently gotten back into modeling and my interest is dinosaurs and nature models. Would be interested in contacting and keeping in touch with anyone else interested in dinosaur modeling. Thanks.
