Old modeller #1

[modelercarl]

I am reposting this... don't know what happened to the first, sorry guys! This a ROG Peterbilt Black Magic and the ROG Car Transporter I built. It has models of vehicles that I have owned in the past. I got back into this hobby after about a 50 year absence (I am 69 y.o.). I started by building models of cars I owned as a teenager growing up in Garden City, MI and wanted a method of displaying them that was easy to keep track of and eliminate dusting!! See my posts #2 and #3 for the whole story.

Very nice work, Carl. That truck looks great. I like the G.P. When those W-bodies first came out, I wasn't too wild about them, but they kinda grew on me over the years.

I agree, I wasn't too impressed with them at first either, I think it was the big front end little back end or something. That car was my "returning to my youth" vehicle. Was browsing new cars on a lot and saw it had a manual 5-speed and I liked the color...that's all it took. Not much on performance, but a lot of fun to drive.
