Born originally in New Jersey and currently residing here, I have at times been
transplanted in Vermont and Connecticut. I miss the country alot perhaps one day
I'll have enough of city life and return. My thought concerning that is " I went from
being able to shoot (hunt) in my backyard to shootings in my backyard. A Sad
statement i guess on life in the city.
I have been a member of the Tri State Scale Model Car Club for over 11 years and
contribute to the club newsletter under the pen name of the Manlytoolman. I also
write for Largescalemodeler as well . Most of my writing reflects my philosophy in
model building and takes a lighthearted look at it.
I started building like most of us in my middle teens . Back then there were no
how-to-sections no countless sites of aftermarket parts and few contests. Most of
my cars were so heavy with putty it's a wonder they didn't collapse. Modeling tools
were crude and almost unheard of. But that didn't stop me from creating and just
plain ole having fun. Today I love to build mainly muscle cars and enjoy greatly
detailing the engines right down to the last nut and bolt. As of lately I have taken
greatly to large scale building , owing a great deal to a good friend and mentor
Bob Hayes.

As far as modeling contests go i try to support as many different and small
contests as i can , not in the quest of trophy's but because I have always been a
people person and enjoy making as many, new friends as possible. I love this
hobby and it has given me much,so it's only natural to return the like.
Unfortunately there are many modelers, that don't realize that this hobby should
be fun and act as an extension of our personality. We should thus build for the
love of it and satisfy ourselves. Those first starting out as well as those who
have been around awhile should concentrate more on making friends and
sharing with others making memories that will last a lifetime.

Ok so you read this far so it's only natural to slip in some Monty Python and more

It's time for Monty Py........OOOPS sorry folks time for my Mini
