It is me all dripping with newness here . I am a retentive , yes , I freely admit it , a Factory Stock Builder . I stray every so foten from the research to get a break . I was back into the hobby when Resins statted in the Model Car segment of opur Hobby . There was a gap in my life between '78 - '84 . I was talked into selling all I had since 1958 until 1978 . I sold me out while i was at it .

   John Hier , S. K. Miller , Thomas K Mills ,  and so many more people I was privilidged to know and talk at the Toledo Shows for years . In remember the first show Don and Carol Holthause sold at . Art Anderson did incredible work . I have some of his products too . Not many know he inspired Don and Carol to get into the Resin Casting Business . 
  Dave Dodge , Kevin Lutz , Jeff Watlington , Steve Kohler  .. plus many others make our Hobby such a Fun Time . I must give Kudos to some others that have passed on .. 
    I am able to answer questions you might have . Especially about early rseins . I will ask questions myself . The quest of knowledge is neverending . 
  Oh yeah , I just about forgot :  Thanx ..

I am from the Lafayette, Indiana Area. I grew up in Fountain county and Lafayette is in Tippicanoe county. When I was young my parents would go there and I could go to the Webers Hobby shop. Apparently Art Anderson was a part owner or a employee. He took it over and it was called "The Model Maker". That was my first vision of what appeared to be resin cast kits.
