Hello. Great site! I've been interested in aviation from an early age. My dad was an aerospace engineer and my grandfather flew B-24's with the 44th BG during WWII. I grew up building model airplanes but left the hobby around 14 due to girls, sports, school etc. I am the black sheep in my family. I'm the only one that joined the Navy from an Air Force family.(I was too near sighted to fly, so they sent me to serve on fast attack submarines where I spent my days squinting through a periscope) Got back into modeling about three years ago when I got inspired by some of the work people were doing with the Roden and WNW kits. Currently married with one son and a daughter on the way. Between family, work, and the reserves, build time is scarce but I have come to appreciate the work others are doing on forums like this. The build time I do get is split between three subjects: early US submarines (1900-1945), AEF aircraft, and WWII bombers. I have a bad habit of starting multiple projects and failing to finish in a timely manner. Currently working on a 1/32 Nieuport 28, a 1/72 H-16, a 1/32 SPAD XIII, and a U.S. 1/72 C-class submarine. Nieuport and H-16 are pictured below. Cheers!
