My model building career began very young. I remember watching a behind-the-scenes special on the FX of Star Trek and seeing how they made some of the models by combining kits and using other household items and suddenly "kitbashing" clicked in my head.
Today I run Fireblade Comics (www.firebladecomics.com) through which I produce a lot of different art, among which are props for cosplay or replicas for collecting, custom action figures, accessories and display bases, and scale models.
