Hi!
I'm Bartus. I'm from Peru, but currently living in Chile. I'm 32 yrs old, married with 2 kids (4 yrs and 1.5 yrs).
My first Joes came in 1986, Scrap Iron and Ripcord. As a kid I never got any vehicle, only about 20 Joes. When I grew I sold my joes and kept 4 or 5 in a box.
Many years later... in 1999... I rediscovered my interest in them, and started collecting (1st task: get the ones I had as a kid), and from them I kept increasing my collection, and started with similar 1/18 lines as well.
One of the first things that came with me when I moved to Chile were all my figures, but unfortunately my vehicles and playsets remained in Peru... and now, each time I go there I return with a couple of boxes of vehicles... one day they will be all together again...
I was amazed when I discovered the customizing and dios part of the hobby... but I didn't had the time to do it... now I have, and I will start posting some pics soon
(I need to improve my photograph shooting and photoshop editing skills, and learning from your posts will be an important part of it)
All the best!
Bartus!
