hello gentlemen, been a while , i have been stopping in from time to time but ,have not been modelling in a year or so.i had gotten in a rut you see so i dusted off my guitar and started playing again. i used to be quite good and play live 2 to 3 times a week for almost 20 years. katrina destroyed everything i owned including a ton of music gear. i got a guitar afterward but stopped playing out right before then so i didnt re purchase any gear and was given a hand me down amp. well when i picked up my guitar and started playing it became evident i needed a better amp. i wanted a tube amp like i used to have but could not afford to get one, so being an electrician and a former electronics tech i thought of building an amp. well they sell kits for tube amps but those are extremely expensive too. so i said to myself why cant i do that but more economicaly. so i started reading and studying and joined a couple forums and i was off. i felt revived like i did 10 years ago about ww1 aircraft and building models. at this time i have built several guitar amps each one sounding better than the last, i scavenged parts from old beyond repair radios,stereos etc. i have also gotten several old radios and record players working again so its fun for me.oh and i built a guitar. cheers gents
i am not going to give up modelling but i have decided to thin out the stash a bit. i have so many rare ,exotic ww1 aircraft kits but will never be able to build then all. but i just accumulated one or two here and there as well as new releases. plus i could use the money at the moment. i decided to sell some things and have posted the first of probably a few "for sale" threads.
