Well this really all got started a very very long time ago. Pops was building an airplane in our kitchen..yes i said kitchen, condo's didn't have garages back then, and he was determined to build that airplane. I was 4, and wanted to help, but really was just in the way. So dad decided that i should build my own airplane, and 44 years later i'm still building. I love building and have always come back to it even after taking little breaks now and then to do the life thing...but i enjoy life a lot more from behind my work bench. I think it has always made me feel closer to my dad or maybe even a way for me to keep him close in my memories. He was killed in a plane crash when i was 21. I'm sorry he is gone but he went the way he wanted, i'm sure. Well I was always frustrated by the fact that i couldn't build or find models to build that I  wanted to build so i started making parts and doing my own scratch built parts and conversion.  That was all good but what about markings...and so on and on this went till I had enough.
