Hello everyone,
I have read this forum for a while, but haven’t introduced myself, so I am taking the opportunity.
As a kid I built most of the than Estes rocket collection. As an adult, I have diverse interests, and it carries over into the models I have built/want to build eventually: sci-fi; real space; ships and pretty much anything water related; and architecture. My biggest paper model interest may be airships. I really only became interested in paper models a year ago after stumbling across Ralph Currell’s website.
To-date, I built have built Currell’s Concorde and Graf Zeppelin. A Schreiber-Bogen OHEKA II is under construction, but I haven’t had the frame of mind to finish the railings and final details, and it will remain unfinished until the mood strikes. I recently started Ralph’s Titanic, and am just getting ready to fit the hull onto ship’s skeleton. Johan Scherft’s hatching raptor egg is partially complete as a gift —the egg is done, but I haven’t had the time to take on the hatchling.
Between work, family, and other hobbies, I have very little time to model, but do enjoy it do a here and there as time allows. I am pretty patient and most of my builds are sporadic affairs takings months if not over a year.
I have, however, amassed a pretty substantial collection of commercial kits, and downloaded models that I hope to work through. It might be more accurate to say that I am collecting models more than building them at present.
Thank you for having me!
Eric
