Build mostly 1/72 U.S. Navy Aircraft. I started building models around age 7 at age 8 I won third place in my very first contest. I built mostly Cars back than. I built almost all of Monogram's Tom Daniel's cars. In High School, military subjects came on board with Aircraft and some Armor. As I enter College my modeling aided my career path. as a Architectural Designer. I went from building plastic models to building models of Buildings and at the end of my career doing 3D computer modeling. From about 1979 until 1991 I did not building a single plastic model. It took the 50th Anniversary of WWII and the Gulf War to get me back into modeling and boy did I get back into it in a big way and have not look back.
