Greetings

Mon May 12, 2008, 9:26 PM
Well, I've been here for about four months and I've never really said anything. Even though I have nothing really important, I might as well put something down.

As everyone who looks here can probably see, I'm a model builder. I've been at it for about five years or so, this replacing my Lego addiction of earlier years. My main focuses are armor and mechs, usually 1/72 scale, though I've been known to do a little of everything.

I haven't completed anything in months, though I'm trying to remedy that. College takes up the majority of my life, but when I do have time to build I either don't want to or can't see a project to completion. Last year I completed the two 1/72 tanks I have in my gallery, this year I've barely touched anything.

Within the next week I'll be leaving for an eight-month internship, and hopefully I'll have more time and ambition for the hobby. Not having exams to worry about will probably help quite a bit, and I won't be working 65+ hours a week at this internship like I did last year. I just started a new project that I've been anxious to get to for a while, so hopefully I'll be able to add this one to the display shelf.

Whoever stops by, let me know what you think of my work. I'm always open to comments and criticism, or to simply discuss the hobby. Thanks for looking!

I heard this guy sucks at making models.

Thanks for friending me! Nice to meet you. One comment on your blog: don't replace the lego addiction. I've known people who have made lego building their art, and they have incredible work. Besides, legos are the first taste of "plastic crack" that most of us model builders ever had. You can't replace your first love... Where do you go to school?
:iconm4treadhead:
Nice to meet you as well! Don't worry, the Lego has not been completely replaced, I just don't have the space for it right now. They'll return once I graduate and have my own place. I go to school in southern Missouri, though I'll be working about an hour and a half from Chicago until January.

Well, good luck with everything. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
