57spyder Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Hello all, I am Ray Colbert in the USA. I am into modeling, trains (inside and out), what you brits call autoslalom, and hill climbs. Also amateur radio. I build models of all types usually older ones that I rescue from the trash at my local hobby shop. The owner is like a drug pusher and when I see him I spend at least $100.

dogsbody Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Greetings from way off to your northwest. I originally came from off to the northeast. Nova Scotia, to be exact. Welcome to the forum! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Hello Ray … from Chicago, Im mostly an aircraft builder myself. I have a few family friends in Pittsburgh and get there every few years to visit. Your screen name wouldn't be referencing a certain famous Porsche would it ? If so sad story, interesting choice, and a famous car. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
57spyder Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Yes my screen name does refer to that car. I built a full size replica to hill climb here in PA. I unfortunately had to sell it a few years ago. It was painted British racing green with gold stripes. Ray 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Hi, I to like to restore old models, I hate seeing good models go in the garbage. Another form of recycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Welcome to the forum from Yorkshire. I am an aircraft modeller, exclusively in 1/72nd, but I dabble in railways (in our weird 'OO' gauge). Enjoy your time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goji308 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Welcome Ray! Sounds like you have a great relationship with the local Hobby Store. I’m into large scale Uboats and spend most of my time in the water section of the forums. Glad your here. Brian, California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
