Hello. I've been building models for over 16 years now I mostly enjoy modern era 1: 35th scale builds (post WWII). Nothing against that conflict Just can't get into it. This hobby of mine really took off for me once I've enlisted in the army simply because I was around many people that shared an mutual interest in this hobby. Well moving to newyork where people tend to neglect their local hobby shop due to a lack of interest I turn to the impersonal world of the Internet shopping. This hobby is therapeutic for me because for 8 hours 5 days of the week I spend my time trying to solve other folks problems It's good to escape in a plastic kit.
