Professional psychologist, father of four, musician, modeler, lecturer. Tired.
My modeling defaults are building dioramas and WWII aircraft. Enjoy WW2 history, reading, single malt scotch whisky (without the 'e'), music, good food, bit of philosophy, and general history.
Well, I had to post this at some point.
It has been a real pleasure building this (first ship build but definitely not my last) and I had a lot of fun with the iMoldeler fraternity along the way. All 540 plus posts (hey, some of them are [...]

Thank you to Martin [...]
In a world where it can be easy to succumb to cynicism through pessimistic images and events, there was some great news this week that after 72 years the Indianapolis was found at rest in the Philippine Sea. A civilian crew headed by Paul [...]

Really, who doesn't feel something visceral and intimidating at the sight of a Tiger tank. There's something about this vehicle that symbolises everything about the Wehrmacht.
