Hey guys, hoping you could throw a little help my way. Hobby Talk is my home on the internet, but sometimes you like to go visit over at a friends house!

If I want to focus on Johnny Lightning's, I head over to JL Talk. Looks like with me leaving the official club of Greenlight (great site, they just don't produce enough racing castings to earn my membership money) I will use the Greenlight Garage for that avenue. For a lot of fun pics, it's Swifty’s Garage...well you get the point.

Hobby Talk has all those boards, and I never see myself leaving home, I just like to visit from time to time in a different setting. Maybe different perspective from other members.

Well the point is this, where do you guys recommend me getting a hardcore fix of 1:43 discussions? I am mostly interested in racing replicas if that helps. I think he have a nice board right here, but we really only have maybe a dozen hard core guys that do all the posting. I will not leave this wonderful board, just looking for a little more traffic, a little more pics, etc.

I always respond to every racing pic posted, (since that is my thing) and often I fell bad I am the only one. I don't want you guys thinking I am a thread hog, I just REALLY like these cars!

So throw out any ideas, I look forward to visiting a few new sites. But I know that there is no place like home!

This forum seems very good for generic 1/43:

The last is a French forum - even if you can't follow the discussions, there are plenty of pics

Ward,

Funnily enough, a friend of mine has just set up a new site for 1:43 models in the last couple of days!

Please feel free to log in - and that goes for anybody else who is interested.

Cheers,

Steve
