I live in Austria and am in my mid 50s. Started my modelers career when I was a kid at my grandfather's workbench as probably many of you. It all began with Airfix' Lunar Module in 1/72 back in the early 70s. Building model kits was not interesting anymore when I discovered girls and bikes. Then there were those years where the job got more important and my focus was more on my wife and beloved son. So time was rare. Some years ago, I made a restart. Over the years, this hobby has become my true passion. It really makes my (weekend) days.

Dear iModelers! I was thinking about continuing one of my last articles about the Jet Age Museum. During a wonderful road trip through the southwestern part of Britain in 2017, I got the chance to visit the Jet Age Museum in [...]
Hi there iModelers!
Here is another project from my shelf...
Initially, this kit was released by Heller back in the 1970s. In the 1980s, I was given the opportunity to drive a bike like this myself. It was a friend‘s bike and since then [...]
