关于我

Hi everyone. I'm the GimpyNinja. An affectionate term give me by my kids though most people call me Jeff. I'm and ex fire fighter paramedic. I worked for the Calif Dept of Forestry but I am disabled now due to a back injury which left me with severe permanent nerve damage. Now I have to much time on my hands an always in trouble so I took to building scale models and dioramas. I am new to the fine art of scale modeling but not building them. As a kid I built many plastic models which where shot, burned and blown to bits. Topical story of most firefighters when they were young. But now I am working on a couple of builds just as a show piece. One is an AH-64A Apache inspired by a couple of builds I saw on Scale Rotor website. The other is a Bell "Huey". This one has a more personal draw because it played a big role in my life as a firefighter. It will require to scratch building work and custom painting and lettering. Well that's about all I have to say for now. Hope to see you all around and learn more about this awesome hobby.
