Last Saturday a group of 3 of us in our local model club got together and the local Global TV news sent out a reporter to do a story on the model building hobby, it took about and hour to get about a 1/2 hour of footage and I would venture after editing we'll end up with a 3-4 minute human interest story on the hobby. I'll see if I can post a link to it after it airs this evening if anyone is interested in seeing it.

Here's the link to the story for you to check out, I brought along a variety of my builds, street rods, trucks, musclecars plus some vintage unbuilt kits from the 50's & 60's and some recent releases. I brought along the current Wildcat & GSX kits plus had my '66 Skylark GS build on the table too.

I think I spotted a 66 GS on the table!

Nice story! I wish I still had the patience to build models. I used to be so good at it. Still have some of he ones I did as a teenager. Now I just collect unbuilt plastic.

You should go into business building kits for V8 members. The ones on the table looked awesome. Can you post some of your work?

Modelbuilding... a kids' hobby? I have the 1st model cars I ever got, for my 10th birthday, and have since collected over 300+ GM musclecar kits, and counting!

I have 30 GSX kits, so far...:eek2:
1 built as a convertible; 1 as a Gold GSX; 1 as an Orange GSX NASCAR; most others waiting to be built, since put off to restore Stage 1 car!

Here's a few links to some of my builds, while I prefer Buicks, I like to build just about any type of vehicle in scale....

here's some mine, diecasts on second page a couple more Buicks in the works plus 35-40 sitting boxes - http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2521361 (http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2521361)
they were rotating GIFs but they turned that capability off on me - have video versions if any body wants too see a particular one rotating .
