An avid modeler since I was a kid, my dad and I used to build together. Went through a prolonged hiatus several years back but now back at it again. Primarily build Star Trek, love to kitbash but also enjoy aircraft, WW2 and modern jets in 1/48 and 1/32 scale, some armor and ships. Trying my hand at some cars as well.
