All Quiet

At least here on my blog it has been, real life however has been incredibly hectic. I apologize for being so absent and not updating here.

I've completed the GAZ 69 and have turned the article in to Military Modelcraft International. Here's a look at the final layout.

I've also been very busy with the feature of Scale Model Addict magazine issue two. This Tiger early was weathered completely by 'old school' methods using artist oils and pastels.

I hope to be able to update more often in the coming months as I have a pretty cool project with some really talented modelers in the works.

Thanks for your patience, hope to see you all again soon!

Scale Modeling

The childhood hobby that followed me into adulthood. The dream I once had about being published in those dog eared magazines I spent my rainy days thumbing through long realized, I find myself seeking the simplicity of the hobby I once had as a child.

This is my place to do that, my quiet little corner of the web where I can just unwind with my imagination and find oneself as while simultaneously losing oneself. My bench is my escape, from reality and weight of the world with it's drama and deadlines. Adding that aspect into ones hobby can make it that much less enjoyable. Imagine sitting down at your bench and having your boss demand things from you and your annoying coworker chewing his banana with with his mouth open in your ear.

It's a hobby. It's not life. Enjoy it how ever you like, be it out of the box or rivet counting. Don't let anyone tell you any different, and allow them the same leeway in their endeavor. Build how you like, like how you build.
