I
Want to talk about Me!
Me
at my workbench.
Yep that
right this page is all about
me and my Hobby. So who
am I, well my name is Delbert
and I'm 36 years old and
have decided to build models
as a hobby, something I
always wanted to get into,
but could not for one reason
or another, mainly because
I couldn't afford to. I
was born in Texas and grew
up in Arkansas, and 7 years
ago I meet my wife to be
on this newfangled thing
called the internet and
I up and move to Pennsylvania
and so far so good.. At
least she hasn't turned
into an axe murderer yet.
Back
in December of 2001, I decided
I needed a new hobby besides
the computer. So I decided
to take on the wonderful
world of plastic modeling.
When I went into the hobby
shop, I was a little daunted
by everything I thought
I'd need. But I had a plan,
whenever me and the wife
went out on the weekend
I'd stop into the hobbyshop
and make a purchase of what
I could afford that week
be it $5 or $20, and after
a few months I had enough
stuff to really get started.
I
live in an apartment and
didn't really have room for
a workbench, but I finally found a space I call my own.. the living room closet. 4 feet by 3 feet its my model building home. I have it tricked out to maximaxe the usage of my space.
My
interests are mainly W.W.II
armor and aircraft, ESP
night fighters. I also have
been buying kits of 1950's
trucks and 1930's cars,
I like how they look and
you see them most often
on the clearance Racks.
I'm still fairly slow at
building because I do most
of my hobby work on weekends
and odd hours in the night.
To date I've built 13 models,
3 Aircraft, 8 armor, 1 nascar
and 1 large truck. Check
them out in the Model
Gallery.
My
personal modeling challenges
to overcome are Lack of
dedicated space, as I live
in an apartment without
any extra (i.e. unused rooms)
and my wife can't stand
the smell of airbrushing
in the apartment.
