I got into modeling as a kid in grade school. My grandmother bought me some old 1/72 scale Matchbox airplane models.....but no glue! I was building planes for years, till I found armor! I never looked back.
I stopped modeling when I went to college, no time. Two years after graduation, I got back into it. I've been building models again since 1997. Not only have I gotten into the hobby hard, but have been drawn into the history aspect of it. I was always a history buff, but now my friends think I'm a loon! My favorite are German, American and Soviet armored vehicles. I like soft skins and lite armor best.
I have had some friends from the hobby shop show me their techniques in modeling armor and air brushing (thanks Scott) and weathering. What a difference. The guys at the shop are impressed with my progress. From blah ato AHHHH! LOL, anyway, I love this hobby, it is very relaxing....except for that damn eched brass, HATE that stuff, too bad its so necessary sometimes.
Some other hobbies include moutain biking (member of National Moutain Bike Patrol), paintballing and computer gaming. I also work in the computer field, so any questions you have on networking you can feel free to ask me.
I also have my own Armor Modelling Website now, thanks to Paul. I was inspired to make a small site with some friends. You can come meet us and see our site at www.panzer-world.net
Keep those airbrushes blasting and those tracks rolling.
