I've been an air traffic controller for almost 30 years, currently in southeast Michigan. I started modeling 40 years ago, but I'm sure like many of you, I strayed for a while after high school. About 20 years ago my wife gave me a 1/48th Hasegawa Mustang for Valentine's Day. That girl knows what makes me tick! I've been enjoying modeling again ever since.
I guess I'm really a history nerd first. My primary interests are WWII and aviation, so the modeling has always been a sort of hands on connection with the interest for me.
I post my work at planedave.net. I'm not up to the level so many of you are, but I have a ton of fun with the modeling and the blog.
And I look forward to connecting more with other hobbyists here.
