I returned to the hobby a few years ago in preparation for my retirement. So far, I’ve only built a handful of kits, but I plan to spend my days in the near future with morning walks on the beach, afternoons cursing on the golf course, and evenings building every kit imaginable!
My interest lies almost exclusively in historical conflicts. As such, my modeling focus and collection reflect that. The vast majority of subjects span air, land, and sea, primarily centered on the Second World War, with some interest in the postwar period that gradually diminishes as it approaches the modern era.
