Just wanted to take a few moments and introduce myself, I’m Erik, from San Francisco, California. I coach high school football and work in the same day courier service world.
I’ve got back into scale modeling a year ago after a 12 year hiatus. I started building models as a kid with my dad and grandfather, high school came along and the hobby faded away. Recently was drawn back into the hobby, after a former work associate started building Gundams.
Luckily enough I was able to hop back into the hobby relatively easy. My modeling interests are mainly 1/48 military aircraft, pretty much any era. As a kid I dabbled in 1/35 armor as well, might work my way back into that…we’ll see!
Here’s a sampling of some of my most recent builds.
1/48 Airfix Seafire XVII
1/48 Tamiya F4F Wildcat
1/48 Promodler SB2C Helldiver
1/350 Trumpeter USS San Francisco, build with member USFDon2012
Hey Erik, first… welcome! Great bunch of folks here with a wealth of knowledge. Second…great builds! Didn’t take long for you to get back into the swing of things. I like what you did with the Seafire. I’m doing an old Monogram Wildcat and couldn’t decide if I wanted the wings folded or not. I knocked the idea around of doing exactly what you did with the Seafire! I think i looks good! Might do it with the Wildcat now. Thanks for posting the pics and I look forward to your other builds!
