Lumpy - they don't want to see that old piece of junk ;)

The Gillespie show is always a fun show. It would be my pleasure to meet you there. Last year I judged the car catagories and had a lot of fun doing it. Pete

Thank you to all who have taken the time to welcome me. I look forward to sharing our common interest(and some not so common interests as well) with you. Thanks again.

Mark Thank you for the invitation! I know that you have a very strong club, with some very talented modelers. Thanks to IPMS/SDMCC V.P. Skip Samples, I get your news letter monthly and it always has a number of interesting articles. It is a bit of a drive from San Diego and perhaps in the near future I could make the trip, but my better half would not be pleased if I were to add another club meeting to my monthly agenda. Thanks again for the invitation.

Yes, that was mine. Here are all that I have left of it. Several photos. 5 years ago, some one broke into my garage on Easter morning and stole it along with several other models and R/C cars. Interestingly, the garage was full of valuable tools and they left all of those. Enjoy the photos.

Hello from Southern California. I suspect that many of you know me from other forums or from local clubs. I build mostly cars, but enjoy forays into aircraft(use to be a KC-135 driver) and wierd stuff like egg planes and cars. On the wierd side I have a photoetched Eiffel Tower in 1/1000 scale on the work bench. I have been building since I was a kid and now that I am 60 I finally got into upgrading my skills. I use to compete in a lot of local contest, but backed way off 10 years ago when I won a trip to Japan courtesy of Tamiya/con, with a really crazy Dodge Ram/Ferrari TestaRossa cross build. Since then, I build more of what interests me. Last two major builds were 1:12 scale Tamiya 935's with Scale Motorsports unltimate detail set. I do a little bit of customer work, but don't make a living at it by any means. I just see it as a self supporting hobby. I really enjoy helping other modelers with their questions, so ask away. I belive in helping modelers with parts, if I have them availible, with the stipulation that they "pay it forward". I've been helped buy others so anything I can do to encourage you to help the next person, I'm down with that. Thanks for having me and I look forward to the new friends I will make here.
