No, i don't do underwear ads. I make scale model cars and figures.
I've been painting on and off for 4 years, mostly painting figures for my D&D game. Recently, i took up cars. As a child, i was entranced by model cars, but disappointed with how unrealistic they looked.
About 2 years ago, i picked up a car model mag from the news stand. I saw all kinds of wonderful custom creations using a myriad of aftermarket parts. Finding out i lived near one of the biggest aftermarket manufacturers, i went for a visit to Detail Master.
I met with Dirk, then owner then, and looked at the expansive inventory laid out on shelves upon shelves. Whilst i wasn't looking, someone had made an industry dedicated to custom fabrication and detail. I was hooked.
It has been a year since i last worked on a model due to my tendonitus. But after finding some old mags, i have began reclaiming my workspace to develop my custom VWs.
