I guess many of you will read this so I will introduce myself. No funky nickname needed for me, I’ve earned enough with some of my antics from my military life.
I started modeling at 9 years when my dad bought me a 72 scale snap-tite F-15. I built throughout my teenage years and put the plastic model jets away for the real ones. After a couple of years of that (and failing) I taught air cadets to fly gliders as a flight instructor in the reserves. I formally left the air force(canadian forces) for a family. Istarted back at modeling a shortime thereafter.
I helped run a hobby shop for 5 years prior to the owner passing on and the wife closing it down. It was there I really became up to the modern standards for knowledge that is needed to model today. I concider myself an average modeler, and allways stop to help the club members with any problems that they have.
