GeeWings 2830 Posted August 14, 2022 I just noticed that I’ve been a member of Tamiya Club for a year this weekend. I joined because I had an itch to get an RC having not had one for over 30 years! So, I posted some questions and a few days later had spent a small fortune on a NIB Egress ReRe just in time for Father’s Day and birthday present all in one. Of course, as we all know too well, one car wasn’t enough! A couple of weeks later I purchased a Land Cruiser GF01 which led me to the world of hop-ups and blue bling! Then came some custom projects and plenty of impulse purchases! 12 months, 1400+ posts and a few thousand dollars later I’ve got a burgeoning collection. Anyway, a huge thanks to everyone that’s provided guidance, advice, inspiration and most of all good laughs along the way. It’s been a tough 12 months but this hobby and this forum have provided some much needed distraction. Here’s the first few ‘complete’ builds but there are a fair few others half made! 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking back a 1/10 collection would have been far easier, with many more options, but keeping everything at 1:15 (or so) has been a fun challenge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferruz 11702 Posted August 14, 2022 Happy Anniversary @GeeWings and it's a real pleasure to see your work. That Egress you've made? Hands down, my all-time favourite for sure! Cheers to many more of these years 🍻🍹 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You were one of the first I think to provide guidance and advice as I stepped back in to the hobby. I look forward to the GeeWing lounge chair 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
