Built fighter jets and muscle cars as a kid with my Dad. I am now a 46 yr old grandfather. Have been building models off/on for much of my life. A typical build takes me a year, but life and other lives take up most of my attention. I now have a mini-stash and am looking forward to the next few years knocking those out.
Skill level:
Assembly - Amateur
Painting - Amateur

As of this writing, my current models are thus:
Tamiya Merkava Mk1 - 99% complete (still need to do the Tank Commander and fix one of the machine guns).
Fantasy World. 50% complete (12 in globe is painted but lettering still needs to be done).
Revell '70 Dodge Challenger T/A. 30% complete (still needs lots of paint and to be assembled; has been on the work bench the longest as I'm trying to pro-mod it).
Hasegawa MiG-25 Foxbat. 5% complete (washed and primered while still on the sprue; will be working on completing this next).
Revell Titanic (100 yr anniversary set). Gifted to me. Build started by a friend. Haven't looked what needs to be done. I'm typically not interested in historic builds because I like to modify things.
Spirit of St. Louis (balsa wood). Gifted to me. Not started. See historical note above.
Revell Airbus EC145 DRF Helicopter. Not started.
