Greetings all!

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Darryl Tuominen and I build 1/35 scale armour of various eras. As you may of guessed by my nic name I am a police officer and have served twenty years with our Provincial Police Force. I consider myself an average modeller and build mainly OOB. I have posted some pics of my models in the gallery but need to work at my photography skills I served 3 yrs (79-82) as a sapper in the 1 Combat Engineer Reginment in the Canadian Armed Forces, then college and from there into the Ontario Provincial Police Force. After three yrs in the OPP I married the best woman in the world and it was she who got me back into modelling as a way to relax from the stress of policing. Now 20 yrs later she is still my biggest supporter. So aside from my modelling sickness, we show and breed Golden Retrievers x 12 ( blackpoolkennels.com), two cats and two horses. So time to actually model is limited at time
I have always been impressed by this site. It seems more relaxed, friendly and from what I have seen / read everyone is very supportive.

Hastyp,

I'm in Barrie, and yes they are unbuilt kits. Seems I collect more than build

Hi Copper,

A very warm welcome to you from the Philippines! Saw your models and congratulations on you nice builds. The weathering is good. I wish my workshop was as neat as yours!

Nice collections of unbuilt kits. I'm hoping to lessen the numbers of my own unbuilt collecion. Alas, i just bought ten more last weekend.

Hope to see more of your stuff in the future!
