All,
I'm new here, and although I find plenty threads of interest from all the
builders here, I'm more of a car guy. Been building since the 60s, and am
just getting back into it. No offense to anyone, but is there a news group
specifically for cars? Any leads?
TIA

Welcome back to the hobby.  I did the same thing myself about 2 years
ago after a layoff from the mid 60's.

Yahoo has a special interest group for model car builders.  I've found
it difficult / confusing to follow but you might want to give it a
shot.  I've got a lot of good tips and help on the forum at
scaleautomag.com

Hi Dave,
True, there aren't a lot of car modelers on this group but you'll find
those who are
are helpful.  Many aircraft, armor and ship techniques work with cars
also especially
with the basics.  I'm sure that there will be helpful hints as you
check out the group.
There are newsgroups especially for car modelers , but I am not at
home at the
present and can't give you any I've "bookmarked" as I build a lot of
cars also, mostly
LeMans, sports racing and rally cars in addition to aircraft.
Press on here, you'll find it a good group.

I enjoy the discussions of paints, airbrushing, glues, etc that are
non-genre-specific.

One of the things that used to help is that everyone would start the
message title of a new thread with a prefix (aircraft: cars: armor:
etc.) that made looking at titles easier for those whose modeling
interest was a single genre.  Maybe we should try to re-invoke that.

As RobG mentioned, Scale Auto Magazine has a good one.

Also try the model building forum at http://www.automotiveforums.com. It's a
good one.
