I returned to Model Making in 2017 after an absence of 17 years. I have a wide range of interests for various reasons:
Military Aircraft & Vehicles - Because I served for 7 years in the Royal Air Force and worked on everything from Historic WW2 museum pieces to Modern Fighters.
Civilian Aircraft - Because I worked for 11 Years at an international airport
Cars - Because I grew up with my family owning and living on-site at a Gas station in the 70's, and I also once owned my own Auto repair & repainting business
Trucks - Because they're cool, and also during my RAF service I was on a transport team moving aircraft around the country by road.
Sci-Fi - Because I grew up in the 70's, seeing the beginning of the huge Sci-fi move to mainstream, seeing Star Wars the week it was released, and seeing things like Thunderbirds, Stingray, Blakes 7, Star Trek and Doctor Who on TV on our limited 3 TV channels.

When not making Models, I am a Service Desk Manager for an IT Service Provider in the UK, supporting over 40 Business Clients with thousands of users.
I also volunteer for a Bulgarian Street Dog Rescue, RSDR, providing digital publishing and graphic design to support their fund raising activities. (www.streetdogrescue.com)
