Avid Model builder since the 5th grade, with breaks for life in between.
I build almost exclusively 1/48th scale, WWII subjects. Mostly aircraft but also a number of the Bandai and Tamiya 1/48th Vehicle offerings. I am fortunate to have met and know quite a few exceptional modelers who have helped me develop my meager skills.
I have put 99% of the kits I have in my stash. If you see something you like and maybe want to trade or buy, please contact me. I am not a store, I am just a builder who has reached a point in his life that I realize the probability of finishing what I have in my stash is pretty damn slim.
