Hello Everyone,
Greetings from the land of OZ.
I am located just outside Melbourne. Married with one teenage daughter.
I started off with a few Tamiya F1 cars when I was a kid. Over the years they were lost / destroyed in various moves.
A couple of years ago, a local hobby shop had some of them as a deceased estate clearance. I took the oportunity to pick them up, and it all started again.
I have added to my stocks, and while searching for some fill in decals for a couple of the kits, I came across the Indycals site.
Poking around there, reminded me how much I used to love watching the Indy 500 back in the 80's and early 90's when it was on TV here.
So as a consequence, I now have a number of Indy car kits as well!
Like most modellers, I can collect faster than I can build. As yet I have not started any of the kits, but hope to begin soon when I get my work bench cleared of all the other junk on there (I do model trains as well)
I have been lurking around as a guest for a while, and I must say that I am impressed not only with the quality of the modeling on this site, but also the generally helpful attitude of it's members.
Some other forums of which I am a member (not car related), seem more like the worst of social media, with a bunch of 12 year olds arguing in the playground and achieving next to nothing. Hence I very rarely bother with them anymore.
Keep up the great work
Cheers
Mark
