What's up? I'm Gluhead. I am a plastic junkie. Maybe some of you know me from the MCM forum, or if you're from the online modeling stone ages, from the old ModelCarList. Anyway, Jeff sent me over from MCM, and I'm glad to see a place for off-road models. My preference is for the stuff that looks more like the real world trucks and buggies than the rc look that you'd need to stand on another truck to get in. lol. But hey, even some of those can be kinda cool. I'm a consistent non-finisher. I like to scratchbuild more than I like to actually complete a project. I don't care that my shelves are filled with projects because it's not sitting around staring at the ones I've built that I enjoy, it's sitting around whittling something out of nothing and getting plastic shavings and dust all over me and the floor. And the chair. And in my beard. And hair. And in my drink. Hey, that's what vacuum cleaners are made for, right? One of the reasons I was told I should come over here is to look at what kinds of parts people need to have in resin. I'm not a caster, but like I said I like to make stuff, and I've got some ideas of my own for masters and would like to compare them to what you guys are interested in. So if someone could point me to threads that talk about that kind of stuff, I'd appreciate it. Here's my fotki link. Check it out if you like. public.fotki.com/Gluhead/Cheers! Glu

I'm a consistent non-finisher. Glu Now there is a statement I can relate too! (But it isn't just models for me... I've got a shop full of 1:1 projects that are in various states of completion! ;D Welcome! I took a quick look at your pics.... pretty cool!

Thanks for the welcome, guys.
Kifaru, thanks. I'm taking a break from that project but I hope to be back on it within the month. People keep asking if I'll have it cast. Wish I could say that a caster has come forward to do it.
