Hey gang,
I am not really new to the forum, but thought I would take the oppurtunity to introduce myself formally. My name is Stuke, I'm 28, been back in modeling for about two years, and love armor!! I mainly work on WW II German Armor, but have branched out a bit.
I started modeling when I was about twelve, but gave it up when I was about 16 for other interests (i.e. girls). I went to college for three years, then joined the military for a few years to experience a different life. After getting out, I bummed around with odd jobs for awhile, then got a great job as a supervisor in the tech industry. This new cash flow allowed me to get back into the "game" and buy all those goodies out there. I have already managed to get a collection of kits that numbers over a hundred! I like to think of it as my "other" 401k plan.
I recently got engaged, and my fiance is an artist. She is very supportive of the hobby and we share ideas. Unfortunately, she also likes to share my tools! I am constantly looking for my files, tweezers (not for art, but eyebrows), and paints. I shouldn't complain though, I have heard some of the horror stories out there.
Anyway, enough of my life story. I look forward to reading all your posts, and picking up new ideas!
Stuke
