I'm new to the forums here and I'd like to introduce myself. I'm an electrical and instrumentation designer in the oil & gas industry here in Houston. I've been building models on and off since around 1972. I started back at it in ernest in 2017 after being laid off for about 6 months.
I primary build 1:48 scale WWII American aircraft, but I occasionally stray to do a car, truck or ship or two now and again. I seldom built the version on the box, I love to scratch-build and I have a thing for realism in my models.
