greetings from Alask***
Posted by AKTANKS on Thursday, November 17, 2011 2:50 PM


hi FSM community,

I'm 27 years of age and a lifelong Alaskan. I have issues of FSM that date back to 1992. As a boy I enjoyed putting together plastic model kits with my dad. My first kit was a snap-it F-15 Eagle.  In 2005 I wanted to get back into WWII scale models and started building crude, boxy looking airplanes out of cardboard. In 2006 I switched to building tanks out of cereal boxes and my skill level gradually got more advanced. Currently, I am focused on German self-propelled artillery.

I have visited tank museums around the world including: Aberdeen Proving Grounds USA, Bovington Tank Museum UK and Parola Panzer Museum Finland.

My claim to fame in these parts is my cereal box T-34 and Marder III that were featured in the Fine Scale Modeler Reader Gallery. Since then I have put together short HD slideshow/movies that document my artwork from start to finish.

You can see the Marder III on youtube by clicking the link below




cheers,
Kris
