Live in the Netherlands, married, one daughter.

Just discovered my very first model kit on this site: NF-30/Mk.IX Mosquito (Matchbox PK-116, 1:72) was what got it all started. I got it as a Santa Claus present at primary school, must have been 1978 or something. After that I ventured into 1:72 and 1:35 armour kits. Another Santa Claus present in 1982 was the Matchbox 1:72 AH1 Cobra helicopter, Bell HueyCobra (Matchbox PK-9, 1:72).

After that, helicopters have remained my main subject of interest, especially the civil models. Love to paint my models in existing schemes, but if the right decals are not available, I paint fictive liveries.
I would describe myself as a very productive but sloppy modeller. I always have my bench covered with three or more kits and finish them fairly quickly. I have a big stash of still to be built kits and I'm affraid the building speed comes first, accuracy last...
