Below are various kits I’ve built through the years. I built models like crazy while younger, up through high school. The Navy put a stop to that. In the 1990’s I discovered resin warship kits. I was amazed by the selection, after only seeing the Tamiya 1\/350th kits for so long, and got back into the hobby. Then, in 2016, I left the computer IT field after 20+ years and became a professional model maker, first working at a diorama museum, and now working as an architectural model maker. Nearly all of models I built as a child are no more. About half of what I build today I sell to private collectors, the rest I keep.<\/p>\n\n\n
