Hi everyone, Just thought I'd take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Nick, and I'm from Baltimore, Maryland (USA). I've been building models since the age of 5 or 6 when I found a Monogram '57 Chevy in my uncles basement. I remenber sleeping with it on my headboard the night I finished it!  In the last 25+ years, I must've completed hundreds of model cars. Lately I've shifted my focus to larger scale models, mostly 1/12 Tamiya stuff, so I was thrilled when I had the opportunity to purchase my 1st 1/8 scale kit. I've been enjoying following everyone's builds, and can't wait until I can add my own. I've got my 1st pack of parts, but have been waiting for the 2nd set to start assembly. Here's a shot of my 1/12 collection until I post my build thread:

Welcome aboard Nick and great to see another F1 fan here that's a lot of 1/12 Tamiya kits you have and some very rare indeed. You must have a very understanding partner or your single!  Very nice collection Nick and look forward to seeing more in detail and your Senna build once your up and running. Feel free to start your build diary in the MP4/4 members build diaries here.... http://forum.model-space...aspx?g=topics&f=163
Regards Spencer

Hi Nick Just come across your post and must say that is a very impressive collection of very well executed builds. I am always so impressed with what I call "clean builds". You really have to know your stuff to get the good finishes on pristine paint finishes such as these. That display cabinet you have there is also really good. Is it something you made or had made for these particular models? Happy modelling Tony Happy Modelling
