I have been posting here for a little while, and have always gotten an answerer to help me out.
Anyway, the Real Name is David Erskine. My friends call me Egon because there is a striking resemblance to Egon Spengler from The Ghostbusters movie. I’ve heard the actor has ballooned out a bit, but probably could get into a grey jumpsuit strap on the Nuclear accelerator backpack and be ready to go.
Back to what I am supposed to be typing here:
I am 37-ish, and I have been modelling for about 23 years. It has been an off and on hobby. Originally it was Battleships (I think I posted most of this in another topic). I built all the American ones, and went on to a couple of Aircraft carriers. One of them was the USS Forrstal.
It is hard to remember where I went from there. I remember 3 very large models. One was a 32 Ford Hotrod, another was a Utiltiy truck with one of those hydaulic lifts on the back. The third was a bright red Corvette.
From there, it was a variety of things, a B29 which I painted silver, a B26 which I also painted silver.
I also built an Apache AH64. I had a model of an F117 or rather what Popular Schience thought it would look like. I have a broken down Catilina in my closet, as well as a futuristic version of a Corvette.
I even built a couple of Mecha; one a Vara-tech and the other a Battle Tech Griffin.
The majority of my models are gone. My Dad still keeps the B26, so it is in good shape. The monstrous B29 is still around, but a couple of props have fallen off. Everything else is broken or gone.
Present day, I have a couple of War Hammer hover tanks (only now realizing that these things are meant to be used not displayed) and a V-22.
I have never built a Tank, though I am enthusiastic about trying one.
Though I have built many models, I find that I am not as good as I’d like. I think there is some talent to it. I don’t have that talent, but I can’t stop building things.
