Jason is a contest-winning modeler, long-time hobbyist, and has experience both in front of and behind the camera, which makes him a great addition to our video content.

Welcome, Jason, to FineScale Modeler magazine and the FSM Forum!
Welcome @Jason_Gares! Looking forward to seeing your many contributions. Especially if they help me build my skills, which are in desperate need of building!
Thank you @Tim_Kidwell1 for the kind introduction. I will do my best to bring something fresh, insightful, educational and fun to the FSM table. Though, even at my age, I’m still learning.
@fxsti03-42@gomeral@PhoenixG Thank you all for the warm welcome, I really appreciate it. @PhoenixG Yes, that’s my website. It sure needs an overhaul. Maybe I’ll get to that soon…
It’s that kinda attitude that will fit in just fine around here. Welcome! Hope you have some time to participate on the forum in between “official” duties.
@roger_wilco Thank you, I appreciate it! @Frozin Thank you! That’s the plan. I hope to at the very least add something fresh, insightful and fun to the publication., @Edwin I appreciate it. In short… I’ve been involved with scale modeling in one form or another since 1977. I was influenced by my grandfather who made bi-planes, tri-planes, and river boats from scratch with mostly balsa wood. Plus, from many other people over the years. I don’t want to give too much more away… But, thanks for asking.
Careful with the age thing…you don’t wanna give it away too quickly ya know.
