My name is Irvin Arter Jr. and I have been building and collecting model cars on and off since I was 8 years old. I hope you enjoy my collecting and building style. Most of my stuff is what I call good "shelf models" that sit right. My friends call it the "ARTER RAKE" Wheels and stance first everything else will fall into place. I do some details but, I go for the "LOOK" more than all those extra little details. I also own a few models that I have bought and traded for built by other people. I collect unbuilt kits and some die cast. I am a builder so I am not afraid to modify a die cast or build a mint old kit. I am a member of the Maryland Automotive Modelers Association (MAMA) . I am always interested in your comments!
