We all know what it's like to find that technique that really changes the way you build models. Stick around. Ask questions and you'll discover a lot more neat stuff. Wait until you hear the facts about Future floor polish, Castrol Super Clean and Tenax 7R.

Hi all!

I joined a while ago and never posted. I figure its about time I get off my lazy rear and start participating!

I live in San Jose, CA, and I build (probably 'collect' is a better term as I haven't built too many of my kits yet...) resin monster kits and styrene monster and sci-fi. I am really enjoying what Moebius and Monarch are putting out :cool:

This a good thread- I have not been posting much in the last 6-8 months, but it is great news is hear from so many new modellers here. I keep telling people I see that this is a slowly disappearing hobby, but maybe not. There is hope in each new person the board gets. Welcome to all the new members and any new modellers!! This is a great place for information, skills and techniques. If you don't see what your looking for, just ask. i am sure someone in the bunch can be of help with about anything that you might be building.

Hello Everyone!

Found Hobby Talk while stumbling around on the internet looking for more information on the Flying Sub.

What a great site! I've already read some of the articles & comments . . . makes one wonder how we ever researched before.

Keep on building!

Thanks for Welcoming Count Bradula into your computers

Hi Folks

Im new here and am mostly interested in Kustom Kulture models. Anything Rat Fink, Stanley Mouse, Weird-Ohs and Lindy Loonies!

For the last two years I have been the Weird-Ohs brand manager over at Hawk Models in Cedar Rapids Iowa.

I am currently taking some time off to illustrate a line of Silly Surfers trading cards for Hawk based on the popular model kits from the sixties!

I love anything from Bill Cambell, Ed Roth, Tom Daniel, Von Dutch, George Barris, and the list goes on... you get the idea!

In the next few weeks I am going to be selling some items from my personal collection and will be posting in the selling forums.

I hope to spend more time here as I am an avid collector and love this sorta stuff!!!!

Whether it's Horror/Sci-Fi, Kustom Kulture, Racing, or Super Heroes I have a feeling I'm going to like it here!

Excelsior!

Moebius LIS Space Pod

What led me to this site was Moebius itself. I got the Lost In Space Space Pod and of course realized the instructions suck. Research on the web let me see that many other people have had the same reaction. Any suggestions or experiences or links are appreciated!!
