Building scale models was one of my favorite pastimes as a kid.  I built countless kits on sunday afternoons and hung them from the ceiling in my bedroom.  I rediscovered the hobby about 5 years ago and my love for building them returned with a vengeance.  Today, the hobby has progressed immensely with large manufactures producing incredibly detailed multimedia kits. Smaller aftermarket, cottage manufacturers flourish across the globe creating insanely detailed resin and photoetch additions for adding increased detail and accuracy.  With the advent of the internet, research has become accessible to everyone with countless sources on the web.

Below are some of my articles.
