Came back to the hobby few years ago in preparation for my retirement. Only built a handful of kits so far, but plan to occupy my days in the near future with morning walks on the beach, afternoons of cursing on the golf course, and evenings building every kit imaginable!
I'm interested almost exclusively in history's conflicts. As such, my model interest and collection reflect that. The vast majority of topics range from air, land and sea and are often entered on the Second World War, with some interest in the post war period and diminishing towards the modern era.
