Default Evening
Howdy everyone,

Just joined the group as I am interested in 1/8 to 1/12 scale metal model construction. Primarily early 1900 Grand Prix race cars. I am a computer engineer by trade and have a small metal shop with milling machines, lathes, a metal shaper and metal planer as well as some small scale pattern making/foundry abilities (aluminum and bronze).

Looking forward to browsing the site and seeing what projects everyone is working on.

Lastly, I maintain and drive a '30 Model A Coupe which I drive about 5K per year. She's not perfect, but she's not a trailer queen either.

By the way, my location is Maple Valley, WA if there are like minded individuals in the area.

Welcome Laurence

There are a few of us up in your area.
I'm up near Everett, when I'm in America.

Cheers
