Living In Southern California (for now) and building models when I can. Recently I've been concentrating on a career change that has taken a lot of my modeling time away but I'm getting back into as of late. GO ME!

Mostly I enjoy building 1/32 scale aircraft. I really appreciate the detail you can bring out with them. I do like the esoteric stuff but of course it's harder to find in 1/32 if it exists at all. However, I like to build all types of models, and i've written several articles about building for online modeling sites as well as published magazines. With all that being said I don't consider myself an expert of any sort but rather an eternal student of the art. I suppose that's why I look forward to learning new techniques from my fellow modelers.

My 1/32 Scale wish list includes but is not limited to: IA-58 Pucara, Buccaneer S2, Sepcat Jaguar, H-37 Mohave (1/48 would be welcome too), OV-1 Mohawk, MH-53 Pave Low, CH-54 Skycrane, F-89 Scorpion, Fairey Gannet, Desault Rafale, V-22 Osprey, H-21 Shawnee, A-37 Dragonfly, F-101 VooDoo
