As everyone else…built models as a kid, discovered girls , sports, cars, etc, and modeling became a distant memory. Got interested again at about the age of 35 after a severe back injury. I was going nuts lying around and needed something to occupy my time reccuperating. Now, nine years later, my back is as good as its going to be and Im still modeling like a madman! The hobby has come a long way since I was a kid but its still pretty cool to see those old kits that I started out with still hangin in there!
