Built 1st model (likely 1/48 Spitfire) at age 6 with my dad in the mid 1950s and from that point I was hooked. Built probably a few hundred kits up until I got married in the mid ‘70s, then picked up the hobby again this past year, more than 40 years later after I retired. Everything has changed, but still loving it.

Retired R&D forensic scientist specializing in Microscopy; worked for 45 years for a multinational medical device manufacturer - arguably the world’s largest manufacturer of precision molded plastic parts - and therefore I’m highly adept at handling tiny parts...LOL!
