Retired now after 27 years at the best O Gauge model train company.
Been modeling since I was 8. My father got me involved and it's been my number one hobby all this time. I'am 60 now and have begun to pull away from 1/72 (to small) 1/32nd "looks" real good now! I've been working in the hobby field for almost 30 years.
As a artist and designer for hobby magazines an illustrator for books and even a stint as an assistant manager at a hobby shop. Love to build everything, aviation and armor being top now.
This is the Verlinden helo base with a Hobby Boss UH-1C that I added the weapons mounts and 40mm grenade launcher "borrowed" from the Monogram hog kit. Still working on the D-Day Beaufighter too! Can't just do 1 thing at a [...]
The Revell of Germany rerelease.
Always liked the lines on this fighter and having been a VW nut ("the peoples car") why wouldn't I like the Volksjager ("peoples fighter")
This was a great kit for the money, this is OOB [...]
Sorry to post again, but this is the first base/ground cover I've ever done!

This was a different kind of build. The kit is from Revell of Germany, but it's a rebox of a previous kit from another manufacturer and it's not a Tamiya style kit.
The plastic is very grainy not smooth at all, like a limited production [...]
This is Tamya's Marder III in 1/35. It's a real Nice kit and goes together quite well.
Lots better then my bad pictures show. For the non tread heads out there this is a Russian 7.62 cm anti tank gun mounted on the do everything 38(T) [...]
Wanted to build something fast that didn't cost an arm n leg to test out the dot filter technique I see others using. This is the end result. A basic interior, simple chassis and no engine detail to see but the oil pan. Painted using MM [...]
Waiting for paint, thought I would share smome pics
This is the Dragon 1/144 K 9 Leopold from a couple years ago. I assembled and painted this at work over lunches. At the time I had access to a paint booth so it was a fun way to spend lunch.
This remains the only kit that I have have ever [...]
