Rinekar Posted Sunday at 06:03 PM #1 Posted Sunday at 06:03 PM (edited) I am a long time modeler (since 11 years old), and enjoy assembling and painting plastic military models and figures. I have dabbled with wooden models in the past, and have built a few. By day, I am a Vice President of Software Engineering and in my mid-40's. I do this and a few other hobbies, that in the warm months will take me out of the workshop and into other engaging outdoor pursuits. After reading some of admonishments in this forum, I elected to begin with Vanguard Models, HMS Adder and will be posting the start to a build log soon.
