Hello dear visitor!
So you want to know something about me?!? Well, let's limit it to model building.

I won't be very different from the average modeller. I started as a child in the late 60s and then took a big break - women, then family and stuff - you know it. Sometime in the early 2000s I rediscovered model making and have been doing crafts again ever since. I do this for fun. OK, I've already taken part in competitions and won something, but somehow this is not for me. In that environment everyone takes it so seriously and is so important ... at least here in Germany ... whatever - not mine.

The focus is on airplanes but over the time I started to build a small scene or at least a base for everything and then I ended up with small vignettes with this 1/72 soft plastic tiny ones - a lot of fun. So, i switch between planes and small scale vignettes and one day, when I'm grown up, I'll start painting real figures ...

I think that sums it up.

Cheers
Martin
