Joe Heveran Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Greetings, Just a few words about myself. I am retired (63 years old) and living in the great state of Washington. My hobbies include photography, growing indoor plants, reading and, of course, building plastic scale models. I came across this site by researching my current build. 57' Chevy Bel Air. I like the loads of info I found here and hope to contribute. Below is some pictures of my build in progress. Thanks.

Pete J. Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 Welcome Joseph! Lived out in the valley from '77 to '88. Great town. Loved the skywalk system down town.
misterNNL Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Great time to be doing something positive in a time when some much negative stuff is constantly coming our way. Enjoy the forums!
Joe Heveran Posted October 16, 2020 Author Posted October 16, 2020 Thank you all for the warm welcome! Like many of you growing up in the 60's and 70s' I had my go at model building. I built mostly glue bombs, did not paint very much, and I destroyed some of my creations with fireworks in the empty lot down the street. But I had a lot of fun! Then life got in the way and I didn't think much about model building until recently. I picked it up again about 2 years ago. Now that I am retired and have the economic resources and plenty of time I jumped back into it. I acquired a paint booth a compressor and an inexpensive airbrush. I also bought a ton of tools, kits and supplies. You can say that I jumped in with both feet. After looking around the forum it has inspired me to up my game. I mainly build 1/24 and 1/25 car kits and build to the box specifications. Now my challenge is to incorporate many of the ideas that I found on this forum. Anyway, thanks again for making me feel welcomed and I am looking forward to many years enjoying this great hobby again. This is one fantastic forum! Joe
