Hi. This makes me your newest member.
I've been a Military plastic scale modeler on and off since the 1970s, then left modeling till about 10 years ago when I once again started to model. For some reason I've always modeled military subjects, yet I've been a racing fan since the early 1960s, and even raced cars and Enduro karts with a regional karting championship in 1971. Earlier this year, I just decided to finally start to model what really interest me, and that's race cars.
I have an equal interest in open wheel and closed wheel series, and try to model one open wheel then one closed wheel subject.
I've been a long time member of Kit Maker Network, and have recently started to be active with my builds in their Auto Model forum. I'm also a member of the Open Wheel forums, and through some PMs with Jordan (one of the Admins), he suggested that I also join the Race Car Models site as I have a equal interest in both types of cars. So here I am.
I do like to post my work, as well as build blogs for my current build.
I'm looking forward to becoming a active member and contributing what I can that has some value to the site.
Joel

Gary, Sure did, and thanks so much. I left you a PM as well. In my way of thinking, the two sites together are perfect, and cover all my racing/modeling interests. Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? Joel |

Welcome Joel. Look forward to seeing some of your projects. I especially enjoy seeing works in progress. AFX, Thanks so much for the welcome, it's much appreciated. As I said, I do plan on posting WIP for closed wheel cars here, and just the finished pictures of Open Wheel cars, so you guys don't think I just stopped building. To me the two sites are exactly what I've been looking for. So it just can't get better then this. Joel |

Honestly, I didn't know that you had a sister site for open wheel cars. I kind of thought that the OWRM site was kind of like that. I'll checkout your sister site for sure. What I'm planning on doing is posting both type of builds on each forum. In the proper place. I'm no expert by any means on either building nor racing knowledge, but I'll post when ever it makes sense to do so. Joel |
