Hi! I was directed here by my friend Shrikes, and I am from the Philippines as well. I am a history teacher.
I used to build models when I was a little kid, but stopped for a while. Then I received a Badger air brush and realized I should get into the groove again, so I slowly bought around eight or nine kits which are sitting in my room, unbuilt because I don't have the heart (or guts) to build them and screw them up. I am strictly out of the box, and like Shrikes, the most rebellious thing I'll do is change the paint scheme, lol.
I build 1/35 scale WW2 tanks and I generally prefer the Allied vehicles, especially the less popular ones. So, my unbuilt kits include the M-7, M-12, M-10, Achilles, Buffalo, Cromwell, M-8 GMC, M-5 Stuart (by Tamiya), the M-15 AA vehicle, the Churchill by Tamiya, along with a Pv-IVH, a very out of place MARS and a 1/12 armoured knight (LOL). I also have boxes of 1/72 figurines-- English men at arms, French knights, Teutonic knights, Crusaders and Saracen warriors. I am a HUGE fan of the M-4 Sherman, btw, and would love to get my hands on some nice, esoteric Sherman kits.
