Medically retired from the RAAC. Interested in anything M113FOV related and modern armour. I've been modelling since I was 5 starting off in the old way with aircraft. Changed over to armour when I was about 15 cause I fell in love with tracked vehicles. I changed my goal in life from being a pilot to being an AFV crewman.
I must admit I have become a toolaholic and buy anything shiny and new. Just don't know what to do with them but I'm learning. Dioramas have become my passion and I love learning new ways of doing things. Spend way to much time on the net looking around to actually do some modelling but when I do I just can't stop.
