Yeah, used to be. Not so much anymore. Working on some parts for our '32 line up. Going for the altered drag look.

No. It is a part of my job but it's not as fun as it seems. I wear many different hats here. Guys always come in and say "man, you have the best job" I am sure we have all heard this before in one way or another but those of us who have heard it, know there is alot more to what people see. {boohoo}

That's the low end stuff. Here is the Ferrari I worked on for nearly 2 years only to have it get killed by the bank 2 months before delivery. 3 trips to the China factory and alot of stress and research went into this car. I had all the variations in bodies, engines and componentry finished. I received 1 almost production quality sample before the program was terminated >:( It was painful.

I built this collection when I was between 8 and about 13.  I had more but these are the only ones that have survived.  Found them a in a box when we visited my dad in Ohio a few weeks ago.  I guess they are over twenty years old now.  IROCs and GTAs were the shiznit when I built those things.

 {toast} That 56 is BAD A! You need any cases, let me know! I have plenty of 1:18 and larger ones to keep them covered. I was into planes as a kid. I built countless models and hung them from the ceiling in my room. Do kids even know what models are anymore?? Dang video games killed all that ;)

I got bored a few years back and went to walmart to buy a model to build and they told me they quit carrying them a yr ago. I was pissed. I miss the smell of the glue and paint. We don't have a hobby shop in town any more either. Sux.

I built A LOT of planes too.  I was into planes earlier on then later got into cars.  I guess none of my planes survived.  I didn't know that WalMart stopped carrying models.  That sux.

I was the same way. Built a tons of jets and then I turned 15 and got into cars and starting building nothing but muscle cars.
