thank you for the warm welcome! delighted to be here.
I have been building models and such since about 1960 and
my father and two older brothers were master model builders.
My tastes early on were just about anything in plastic! car,
ships, aircraft, armor, figures.
I finally settled down collecting and painting 1/72 plastic
Napoleonic era wargame figures and 50 years later am still
doing so (will never finish in my lifetime! LOL!) but love
it.
I used to scratchbuilt armor and ships as well in 1/35 and
1/700 and 1/1200 scale.
When i first saw a 21c kubelwagen and 21c carded 50cal mg
i was hooked! i had collected with and played with GI joes
for years.
I still do the Napoleonics but now concentrate on 1/6th scale
tank kits that i and two friends offer to the hobby from my
website
www.plasticpanzers.8k.com I also still love
to work on smaller kits from time to time as well as custom
one-off 1/6th vehicles (even did an 8 foot landing craft LCI!).
Love this hobby and its full of some of the best folks in the
world. I chose to produce some Italian vehicles and artillery
as they were woefully non-represented in the hobby. Still have
some more Italian projects in the works for the next couple years.
I hope to share projects and look forward to seeing more and more
of what is done by the talented folks on this board!
