I build what I like, and I like what I build. It's encouraging to know that others in this hobby think my efforts are worth a kind comment.

In 1965 I tried to get a job in the hobby industry. I sent a letter to everybody I could think of that had anything to do with modeling. I would have taken any kind of a job just to be involved with model building. Uhhhh ...... I mean, any kind of a job that would have allowed me to supported my wife and four kids. That was a disappointment. The biggest bummer was having tio pass up a job for Disney Studios in his special effects shop building models. I would have had to take a starting pay cut that was equal to my rent at the time. I couldn't figure out a way to do that. I will always wonder how that job would have turned out for me.

However, It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
