Main Building Interests: Greg likes to build Replica stock
but willing to try other stuff.
MODEL BUILDING HISTORY:
Like everyone else I
started building when I was a kid in the early sixties. At one time I had
about 30 glue bombs in my collection but when I got older we did the
demolition derby thing. I managed to hold onto a 63 Buick Electra, 74
Pinto, and 70 LTD but everything else is gone.
In 1986, when I was
living in
Reading
, I went to Zerns
Farmers Market inGilbertsville with a friend and one of the booths was a hobby
shop. They had a bunch of old Johan’s so I bought a 68 Chrysler and from
then on I was hooked. I started subscribing to Scale Auto in 1988 and still
have most of them bound together. At the same time I also started
collecting unbuilt kits. At the time there Ted Maurer used to do model kit
and promo auctions
Chester
County
so I got several original mint condition kits at those. I also bought a lot
from Hobby Heaven and later from E-bay. I went to my first NNL East in 1993
and became addicted to that as well.
I am still trying to
improve my skills but don’t expect to ever be an NNL East winner.
The best thing I ever
did was join this club where I met and made a lot of good friends which now
feels like family.
