    How did I miss this thread?? Great looking models, Vinny.

    I started building models when I was like 7 or 8. Done a few cars and planes, the Apollo rocket and lunar module, then went to big rigs (loved ERTL's 1/25th scale 250 piece kits). Lost my entire collection when our house burnt down when I was 19. Got married and had kids, so I lacked the time (and a safe place to keep anything, lol), so I kinda lost interest in the hobby. Been thinking a lot about it lately, though...

    Thanks man.Its actually just a bunch of small cases stacked.;)

    Awesome.8)

    Thanks Mr. B. I really thought I would start back up again when I finally retired but when I started one recently I realised my eyes weren't getting any better and my hands were not getting any steadier so I figured I better build some while I can still see.LOLThanks for the compliment Mr. B!!!8)

Its like a little house to get away from the house.LOL;D
