Hello WWI aircraft modellers! My name is Nick, age 26, and I'm currently a graduate student in Anchorage. I'm ready to get to work during this Christmas break on the WNW Rumpler C.IV Early model I foolishly thought I'd have time to work on between writing papers this semester...
Besides my childhood creations, I took up plastic modelling as one of my 'adult' hobbies on March 9, 2018 when I set to building a vintage Revell Morane-Saulnier Type N in 1/72 scale. Since then, I have built both aircraft and terrestrial models, but have found my interests steadily drifting towards subjects from WWI and the Russian Civil War. I truly love the design and intricacy of these early fighting machines. I do not necessarily think of myself as a beginner in this hobby although I know I have much to learn. After all, have you seen the prices on those Centennial Perspective books by Jack Herris and Colin Owers? Haha.
I also post on Britmodeller under the same username, but the WWI builds are easily lost in the flurry of other brilliant works in their ready for inspection section. So if you'll have me, I am most excited to be part of this special interest group that honors the pioneers of combat aviation and their majestic steeds of wood, wire and canvas. I look forward to sharing my creations with you very soon!
'Till it's over "over there,"
Nick.
