Hello people... im male 30 from Victoria B.C. Canada...i have been looking for a modeling club and i think i have found the best one ... i have done models most of my life as well as drawing and drafting... i m a carpenter by trade ... temporary lay offs have sent me back into a model mood.... i have done good 100 cars, a 150 WarHammer 40k Black Templar army, tons of ww2 figures, not much armor though for ww2.... sadly to say they were all destroyed by an arsonist two years ago.... for the past year i have been working on modern marines in iraq... so far I have two hummers an m2a2 bradley, an m1a2 tank and about 20 guys just about finished.... i took a few shots with my budget web cam ...
i am very happy for the amount of info on this site an give me more help than i can ever ask for .... i look forward to working with you guys (and girls) for a hobby we all love .... i would like to end with the fedex commercial "....Lewis..... you're one heck of a man, doin' one heck of a job!"
