Tim is a legendary truck modeler. Like you, I've followed him for more than three decades. I've learned a lot just by reading the comments he adds to his truck build photos. I'm glad you had the chance to meet him.

Very nice, Tim. Thanks for sharing. Every model that Tim has built is an inspiration to all of us. And the work he has done with Round2 has made the hobby better for everyone. Gosh, I can’t imagine taking that many models to a show. I think he needed a Peterbilt to get them there…..

@@THROTTLEPOWER lol well I use to love building hot rod cars and muscle cars, but I'm very bad at it. My builds are always horable looking, and that's why I crushed just about everything I ever built. I just mostly love to watch them getting built now. I could say so much but I think I say too much sometimes. I just love and respect the models I see being built, more than the other

@@THROTTLEPOWER lol Yes it is I suppose, because I crush them but I do it because I love the feeling of doing it to. I also love watching it and that's how I got started. I wanted to see it done a certain way by my girlfriend back in the day, and she did it but never quite right and I would ask her to do it differently and/or with certain shoes she had. Well one day when I had a lot of crappy cars ready and I had plans for her to crush them all, she made me try on her favorite little black boots that she would use, that I loved so much, and when I did they fit me absolutely perfectly! She teased me, and she " made me" show her "exactly how" i wanted her to do it, and when i was crushing the first one she got like really into it! And so did I so much! She could tell 😉 exactly how much it excited me 😁 if you understand and she proceeded to FORCE ME 😉 to show her on one more, and then one more and she got me to crush every single one myself instead! I had a blast actually it was crazy how much I loved to do it, even SO MUCH MORE than I did originally watching her do it. It became a thing for awhile with her and she would get me to build more cars lol but tell me they will be for her to crush next time, and I literally got excited to do that. Even though I sucked at building them it was so much fun yet. I would her allot! But secretly I started wanting to be the one crushing them and I would secretly wish or hope for her to "force me" to be the one who crushes them! I didn't care to watch her do it anymore anyway because I loved doing it myself more now, and she always made me try on different pairs of her highheels after that first time, and my small feet fit every pair she had like a glove! I ended up loving it, I mean crushing them so bad! It got to a point I was making a lot more models than I ever did before. I did it myself years before we dated though but in my regular clothes and shoes, but that was not as fun.
