I like everything from planes to space and fantasy to ships to figures and dioramas. I just love anything miniature; as long it is in scale and accurate.

Long time muddler here. Used to be box cover art and catalog model builder for Revell in 1975-1977. Then I did a couple of decades in the movie business making models and effects. The most well known model I worked on, was the hero photography model of the Starship Enterprise 1701-D for Star Trek TNG at Greg Jein's shop in Marina Del Rey (interestingly enough, the shop was located right across the street from the ex-Revell factory where I build the cover art models). Anyway, I'm retired now, and now, I build for fun. Recently I started 3D printing and that has really added a new dimension to my muddling. What caught my interest about your website, was the history timelines of model kits. Its brilliant and fascinating. Looking forward to meeting other muddlers
