Fourteen years in the journalism biz, but don't let that stereotype about commie pinko bleeding heart liberal journalists fool you - I manage to disappoint conservatives and liberals alike. Whatever happened to common sense and rational thought? At least I'm not a neo-fascist, neo-Nazi or other political extremist. In fact, just about my entire political, social and metaphysical outlook can be explained in the movie "Blazing Saddles." My journalistic idols? Carl Kolchak (thus the profile pic) and Irwin M. Fletcher. As for my professional choice, it beats retail, restaurant management and scrambling around to fund graduate school. I'm also pretty smug after 30 years - I knew back in 1976 that everyone else would come around and agree with me that the Electric Light Orchestra was cool. Just listen to those Monster.com, Volkswagen and J.C. Penneys commercials.

Do I get to be first to comment here? Whoo hoo!
I just wanted to say that you do terrific work. The level of detail is very ... editorial. Maybe more proofreaderial.
Odd question: Do you know of any model company that manufactures a plastic kit Nash Metropolitan?
And from your other blog I'd like to express condolences.
The Airfix models I built as a kid always seemed to outlast any of the others. They were trickier, but well worth the time it took to do them. Or that's how I recall them.
One of my least-favourite models ever was a teeny-tiny scale model of the Bismark. I think my parents underestimated my skill level and interests. The kit was really designed for twwezers-and-magnifier work for which I at age 11 had neither the patience nor the skill.
I'll definitely pop back here from time to time.
Thanks.
Your work is amazing. Once I've finished rebuilding the Nash Metropolitan for which my blog is named I intend to start quietly assembling models--I hope I may have a degree of your attention to detail.
Great idea to set up a blog to showcase your models!
