I was born and raised on the east coast, where I lived until the late 80s.  Now transplanted into the midwest.  I was disabled a few years back so now I just try and find things to keep me busy.  I have been doing model kits since I was 4 years old.  My first kit was a revolutionary war cannon my parents bought for me on a trip to the Bunker Hill Monument in Massachusetts.  My first aircraft model was an old Monogram 1/72 Supermarine Spitfire and ME-109 combo kit we purchased at the local Sears stores while they still sold them.  After that, I have done a bit of everything but aircraft models, especially WWII era aircraft have been my favorite.  I can no longer do small scale kits because of problems with getting my hands into small spaces and reduced coordination, so I pretty much stay to 1/48 and 1/32 scale (When I can afford 1./32).  I have been slowly trying to swap and sell most of my 1/48 kits to get 1/32 scale counterparts and have found that it's much more fun with the larger scale anyways.  You can put a lot more detail into them.  My other hobby is 3D computer modeling, which I have been doing since about 1996.
