Well you can see my name next to here. But to start off basically a beginner to serious model building, have wanted to try my hand at them for awhile just not enough time or money (still not enough of one of those ) I have been collecting models of interest so far just at the local Hobby shop. My main focus and interest is cold war armor so recently found and bought a Tamiya M1 Abrams & M3 Bradely CFV, looking at building these up and possibly some work to make them to to era correct as well, like modding the M1 to a M1IP version. Looking to even make a diorama for the M3. Other models I intent to build in my collection to be made are, Hobby Craft 1:35 T-72, Tamiya 1:35 LVTP7A1, & Revell 1:72 F-22 Raptor (not the snap-tite one).Looking at trying to get other circa 1980's armor of NATO and PACT, such would be to build a M60A3, M551, M1A1, T-80BV, T-80U, BMP-2, and T-64/72's to name a few. Always welcome to advise on ideas. These models might take a bit as I am just starting out so probably before I try and build those to look the best I can get. Will have some minor projects to practice modeling, modding, and painting.
