Hello,

My name is Joseph and as I have stated in my title, I am long time scale modelling enthusiast. The problem with me is I am more of a kit collector than a builder. I'm hoping to change that by slowly chipping away at my stash, which started accumulating in 1992 when I first moved from the Philippines to the USA. I just turned 50 this year. As a kid in Manila, I used to build models to play/reenact war games with them. As I got older I wanted to make them look authentic. My heroes were and still are Shepard Paine and Francois Verlinden. I would pore over pictures of their works. Now, there are so many talented modelers around the world. It is just mind boggling what they can do! I am so glad that internet has allowed us like minded persons to be able to connect on a global basis. So different from a time when I was a loner in my room, tinkering away at my models and not being able to share my work if ever I can even find somebody who is interested. I have made a commitment to stop lurking and start working. That's why I signed up for my very first campaign, the one for Rail Guns and Howitzers Campaign. Here's hoping I can finally complete a model.

Thanks,

Joseph
