I grew up in the country, building kits on newspaper-covered kitchen tables during snowy winters. My toolkit? Testors enamel, tube glue, and brushes from the general store. My builds had brushstrokes, glue gobs, and fingerprints—but I loved them. I even hung them from my ceiling... until they met their fate during July 4th celebrations.
Fast forward to today: I’m learning modern techniques like proper fitting, filling, priming, varnishing, and weathering. I’ve added dental stone, epoxy, scribing tools, and decal solutions to my arsenal. Photo-etched parts are next on my list. My dream kits? The 1:32 Tamiya F4U-1D Corsair and the 1:32 HK B-17E/F—but I’m building up my skills before I tackle those beasts.
If you’ve made it this far, drop me a note and introduce yourself. I’d love to hear your story and learn from your journey. Let’s build something awesome—together.
