I only recently took up the hobby as a way to learn something new. As a kid I had a fascination with taking things apart or building some new contraption. While I did build plastic models as a child it was a luxury that we could not afford.
My wife is the artistic one. So while I was tagging along on one of her shopping adventures at Michael’s, the plastic model isle caught my attention. I purchased a couple of inexpensive kits, F4U-1 Corsair and SBD Dauntless along with some paint and glue. That evening I proceeded to build the kits. Building the models provided me a way to escape from the mundane activities and allowed me to re-live some childhood memories.
This hobby has been challenging me to learn new things not to mention the research that goes into each model. Learning the history of the subject and the era that it came from has further educated me in areas I had not thought about.
This simple webpage was meant to capture some of those models that have expanded my imagination.
Enjoy
