My name is Matt and I'm 47. I stumbled across this forum a few months ago while searching for some model parts online and was impressed with the builds I've seen.
I built a lot of models in my younger years and have been buying models off and on for nearly the past 20 years. I've had great plans to build them... Anyway, a local automotive forum I belong to recently started a model building contest and that was enough to get me building again.
While I have more patience than I did as a kid, I still don't have all the skills. Maybe in time. For now I'm just happy to enjoy the spectacular detail others achieve and build my models good enough to make me happy!
I have a 9 year old daughter who is showing some interest in model building too. So far she has built 3 snap kits and I bought her a 4th for Christmas. After this one, I think I'll get her a glue kit!
I'm a truck and 4x4 guy in real life and models are no exception. That being said, I'll build whatever catches my eye or mood.

Welcome Matt, from a fellow Washingtonian. I'm not too far away in the Tri-cities. Yakima/Selah has some nice areas to wheel at, although I have nothing to do it with anymore.
