As this page is meant to be about me, and who I am, and what I do, and where and what I intend to do in the future here goes.
I started model making at the age of seven and can remember the day that I bought and built my first bagged Airfix kit, it was a Zero moulded in pale blue. As we always say the rest is history. I obviously went through all the changes and developments of model making including flying line control, radio control planes and cars. The interest did come and go over the years but I always seemed to return to plastic scale modeling. It was in 1983 at the age of 21 that I joined the IPMS in Johannesburg South Africa, and from then onwards I have been actively building scale plastic models. On moving to Scotland seven years ago, I decided to join IPMS (UK).
My interest in model making is very vast and I appreciate all types and shapes of model making. I personally model aircraft as my main interest, cars and motorbikes as my other interests and dabble with the odd armour, and figure models. My interest in aircraft is very varied and starts out with the early wings and wires and ends in the newest and fastest new jets. Within this wide spectrum, which spans the first 100 years of flight the following periods and types are my favorites, WWI, between the wars RAF, WWII, the Fleet Air Arm, and the South African Airforce.
UPDATE AS OF MAY 2007
LOGO CHANGE
You may have noticed a change in the logo this is due to the fact that I thought it was time for a bolder and more dynamic logo, especially as it will be appearing in colour advertisements in modelling magazines in the near future.
RESIN PARTS AND KITS
As many of you are all aware there a few items that I have promised over quite a period of time and these have not materialized. These and others will still be addressed and will hopefully all appear soon. Some have been stopped and or slowed down due to referance and others due to new casting methods being developed for clear parts.
