Hi I am Dave Wilmore, I am 45 years old. Born and raised here in Arizona....in Tucson, but have lived here in the Phoenix area for the last 8 years.
I like building Model cars and always have liked them. My Uncle got me started building When I was 5 & my grandpa kept me interested in them by bringing me Promo cars from the Chevy dealership he worked at. He worked his way from a salesman at a dealership to a corporate job at GM and worked there for 35 years. My oldest surviving model I have that I built is a 55 Chevy Nomad I built in 1977 ( I was the summer between 7th & 8th grade. I mostly have muscle cars or stock daily driver cars but have started to get into building drag cars lately. I have kind of formed a collection of kits so to speak...I never intended it to be a collection and STILL plan on building them all but you know if you want it and its out you better buy it before its gone mentality took over. I have 670 kits in that "I going to build it someday" pile so far and a handful of ones that I need to repair or re paint from my younger days. So when I retire I will have alot to keep me busy.
I like to go to and compete in model contests and shows, I like to see what others are doing and how to build mine better. and the swap meet is always fun too.
I am a member of the Cactus Car Modelers. Its the first club I have ever been involved with. Its been fun over the last 3 years.
