Hello, im Tyler. 19 years old and fairly new to modeling! I got hired as a R/C technician at my local hobby town. Working in a hobby shop, i had my eyes opened to modeling! I instantly fell in love! I am happy i found this site and look forward to be a positive contributing member!

Working in a hobby shop sounds like a nearly perfect job!

If I worked in a hobby shop that was just models I would love it. But ironically I have grown to hate r/c cars. It's really nice to be able to get my hands on kits before they are released though!

That's why I'm a firm believer in the maxim "Everything in moderation".

Except when it comes to modelling, of course

I'm down to one hobby shop in Jax, FL. Getting hired requires an act of (insert appropriate god here). Sounds to me like you would be a shoe-in for the Sherman guys. Build, build, build. Never sleep. Don't be like me. It's been two weeks since I shaved. That adds up to 70 more minutes of build time.
