62Parts Posted March 3, 2016 Report Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) My name is Bob, and I'm from Raleigh, NC. I'm a gulf war veteran and an avid modeler for about 25 years now. Main interest is motorsports. Straight line, Le Mans, F-1, JGTC, Rally, INDY and Sprint racing... I love it all, and I want each of my builds to reflect my crazy passion for motorsports and plastic modeling in general. I stray now & again to other subjects, and I do make time for a fun project after finishing up an intense build. I also restore old plastic models, but opening a new box of fresh styrene will always be my favorite thing! So....stop by and say hello! Edited March 4, 2016 by 62Parts
Moose135 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Posted March 3, 2016 Welcome aboard, Bob! I'm living down the road in Charlotte these days, maybe we'll bump into each other at a show sometime.
62Parts Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Posted March 3, 2016 Hey John - the IPMS/ Eagle Squadron show and contest is coming up on May 21 in Raleigh -- make it up here!...and since you're coming, you might as well bring a few things for the judges :m1helmet: 1
ghodges Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Welcome Bob. Those are some great looking models! Hope to see you at the Nats in Columbia this summer. In the meantime, dive in and have fun! GIL
JohnRatzenberger Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 Welcome, from Nags Head. Have RDUCON on the calendar.
Moose135 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 I think I have about three other things happening that weekend, but if I can make it, I certainly will!
62Parts Posted March 4, 2016 Author Report Posted March 4, 2016 Welcome, from Nags Head. Have RDUCON on the calendar. Outstanding John -- Hope to meet you here...bring some stuff for the tables!
ClareWentzel Posted March 6, 2016 Report Posted March 6, 2016 Welcome aboard Bob. Good looking models. Racing cars are always fun plus, it looks like you do a fun kit from time to time.
62Parts Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Posted March 6, 2016 Hey Clarence - thank you for looking in on me - I see you specialize in 1/72..... My eyes aren't strong enough for 1/72 scale anymore, so believe me when I say I admire what you do!
ClareWentzel Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 The whole secret to get an OptiVisor of some sort. One advantage of 1/72 is that you can store more models on a given shelf. Also, I have a Rat Fink model among them.
rbeach84 Posted March 7, 2016 Report Posted March 7, 2016 Welcome aboard, Bob! Attractive automotive models... thanks for sharing 'em. Regards, Rob(ert)

Mark Deliduka Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 I'm late to this, but welcome! Glad to see you here. Your 'calling cards' are outstanding too! Way to go!
62Parts Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Posted March 24, 2016 well thank you there Mark! -- I'll be posting away soon after I make more pictures - I tend to put off setting up for photographs. I have a cat that likes to help... 1
youngtiger1 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Posted March 25, 2016 Very cool Bob. That is a nice looking collection. I have few race cars that I need to build as well. Btw, all those markings on the tires of the F1...did you paint them with a brush or is that a decal?

I have a cat that likes to help... I know the feeling; I have two cats. Fortunately, they both seem to understand the word 'no' so far.
62Parts Posted March 27, 2016 Author Report Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) Hey Mark - I finally got some pictures made this weekend (with Junior's help)...I've posted my first "works in progress" over in the Cars, Trucks and Motorcycles forum - check it out Edited March 27, 2016 by 62Parts

Hey Mike, for the tire markings on the race cars, I use a refillable acrylic paint marker made by Molotow - check out their website! Edited March 29, 2016 by 62Parts
