Hi
I'm a Canadian presently in the process of retiring from my executive career and moving to beautiful Nova Scotia with my equally beautiful and ever tolerant wife.
I've been modeling for thirty years. Initially I was interested in WW1 aviation subjects. Thirty years ago that meant I had to learn scratch building and vacform techniques. I then became interested in "golden age" aircraft which again entailed a lot of scratch building. I then progressed to WW2 subjects.
Like many others in this hobby I began collecting kits. Each one was going to be my next build! I swore that I would, at least, not become interested in jet aircraft........except I really loved the F86 Sabre....so maybe I'd make an exception. My wife then indicated that her favorite aircraft was the F16. The floodgates opened and now I build and collect aircraft kits across the entire aviation history. I've convinced myself that since I only build in 48 and 32 scales, with few exceptions of course, it's not too bad.
I tried to cull my collection for my move to Nova Scotia but without much success. The movers commented on the lightness of even the larger boxes which at least made me feel pretty good.
As usual I've talked too much. I look forward to posting both comments and questions in future and perhaps even showing some of my models.
