Hello, my name is Bruce and I live in Houma, LA, and yes, my models, unbuilt kits, and model shop survived both Hurricane Katrina, and Rita, none the worse for wear. I've been modeling off and on for 35 years. My modeling interest range from aircraft, autos, and figures, to my current project: a WWII diorama with a Japanese type 97 tank and infantry, (my first attempt at armor and a diorama). I've enjoyed FSM for years and look forward to scanning the forums for advice, tips, and general modeling knowledge.
