I am 53 years old and have been modelling since the autumn of 2002 when after a random nip into a local model shop on my way to work I purchased the old Tamiya Sd.kfz 223. I shared the build and paint job with my Stepdad Adrian where we made the fatal mistake of hand paining it before we finished the assembly and we ended up with a bit of a glue covered painted mess. Many lessons have been learned since then and of course I would like to say much progress has been made too but then that would be stretching the truth somewhat. When not involved in any modelling stuff I like to spend my time pottering around the garden, spending time with the long-suffering Wife and partner in crime Kerry her children and our 2 lovely Grandaughters, listening to music, getting stressed at my football teams’ inabilities and procrastinating about just about everything else plus I have a deep and long affection for anything Star Wars, oh! yes and work of course where I am Site Manager at a large primary school.
