Ramblings of a Mediocre Modeler

The ramblings of a plastic scale model builder. What a hobby! ...grown men playing with toys. Basically I am an average builder with no exceptional skills. I build 1/72 scale (and smaller) World War I through Korean War aircraft and armor. Most of my kits are started but never completed. But, hey! I have fun.

Austin Scale Model Show

April 29 was the Austin, Texas IPMS chapter’s annual contest. And even though I had nothing to enter (as usual) I went and had a good time. I love seeing the masterful works of other model model builders. My other hobby is photography. With the advent of the digital camera (I can only afford a FujiFilm S5000 SLR at this time -- probably because I spend so much money on model kits) I can take pictures and share them easily (but you knew that about digital). Doing the picture taking for myself I don't have to take shots of everything entered (a feat I did for ScaleFest 2004 and will do for ScaleFest 2006). I can concentrate on the subjects and models I like. That way if you go to my photo site ( Austin Show pictures ) you'll see mostly World War 2 armor. [Is it self evident that to get to the pictures just click on where it says "Austin Show pictures"?]
