Nowadays, build mainly cars & military models. My favourites are still the F1 cars of the late 70s thru 80s.
I'm from Singapore & works as a project manager based in Tanzania for the past 13 years building hotels.
FYI. These are the projects I've completed during the past 13 over years in Tanzania.

I`m 44 married for 21yrs father to a beautiful daughter and I`m a truckdriver for a living.
must say that although I have several F1 kits in my stash that is not my main building objective I like to build the more exotic cars (in my mind ) like the Lancia LC2 or the Stratos turbo Mclaren m8 accurate miniatures and just bought the Renault alpine A442B Turbo

I'm a 20-year-old college student in Texas. I'm studying advertising, and I want to be a copywriter at an ad agency. In my days off from school, I work at a local hobby shop with a serious addiction to the employee discount. I drive a 1967 Volvo 122S with 620,000 miles and stalk local neighborhood stray cats.

I am close to 54 and have worked in IT since 1980. Went all the way from trays of punched cards to nowadays technology. First model was a Frog Beaufighter built with my dad when I was 8 (the underwing rockets were very cool). Never stopped modelling since then, been building F1 and endurance for the last 10 years after planes and afv. Building swiss air force subjects with my 15 year old son. Hopes he pick up my stash and go on after me, even though my daughter said she would turn my modeling room in a stylish dressing....

I'm 41 years old, and started modeling as a kid and now I'm a dentist, so I can pracise some of skills every days ^^
I also have a very nice 6 years old boy who like cars and Lego building!
But I'm not only doing some modeling, but I love mountain sports and we are lucky here in Switzerland! Skiing in winter and alpinims-climbing in summer!
I also run some regional races with a Lotus Exige, but now I drive a F355 with Challenge specs...
