I model just about anything military but my main interests are Sherman tanks and variants and WW II Japanese armor. I have had a few articles published in Fine Scale Modeler, Military Modeler (now defunct), Military Modelling and Military Modelcraft Intenational. Always trying to improve my craft any comments and suggestions would be welcome.
I also enjoy sculpting and painting figures. I have had a few figures that were availble from Panzer Concepts, Commander's Models, General Issue and The Lost Battalion. Once again any comments would be helpful.
Model organizations that I belong to include AMPS, IPMS and i have been an active member of the Minnesota Military Figure Society since 1985. Our local group has a web page at www.members.tripod.com/mmfs0/. Up until 2001 I was also an active member of the WW II Historical Reenactment Society portraying a US WW II Army Combat photographer attached to the 30th Infantry. This was a great resource for me to obtain photos of WW II equipment and vehicles.
