Info:  I'm a recently returned to modeling type (3 years ago).  I built mostly aircraft as a kid, then marriage, a child and career (not necessarily in that order).

Name:  Marcus 'Jelly' Jellyman
Age: 36 1/2
From: Harlow Essex, England
Favorite type of modelling:  US Navy from the 60's onwards
Favorite scale: 1/48 but will build a few more 1/32's once we move.
Currently building: A Hawkeye engine!
Currently listening to: Lifehouse - Smoke & Mirrors
Favorite part of modelling: Scratching!!
Least favorite part of modelling: My noisy compressor!
If the house were burning down, which kit would you rescue: I have duplicate stashes in my parents loft and also in the outlaws!
Modelling tools I couldn't live without:  Evergreeeeennn!!

Info: Another returnee to the world of modelling. Most of the builds i built as a kid would have to be finished in an afternoon, and with using tins of Humbrol, you can imagine the results! I've been building seriously for the last five or so years slowly building up experience and a stash. My main interests are in colourful US Navy jets from the 60's-70's and also today's current CAG birds. Unfortunately it's near impossible for me to build anything out of the box anymore, so most of my builds will have some scratch built area's somewhere. Workwise, i'm currently an Electrical Airfield Lighting Technician at London Stansted, a job i've had from school. My main role is maintaining the runway/taxiway lighting and systems that run it, we also look after the fixed ground power for the aircraft.

Other Interests: I have been photographing aircraft since i was 16 and have a vast collection of airliners and military jets. I'm also into motorsport, more towards the Touring Car 'Tintop' type of racing, and am also a massive NASCAR fan and will often be found sitting up till the small hours watch live races.


 

 



Name:  Anthony 'Ant' Lorton
Age: 37 1/4
From: Wiltshire, England
Favorite type of modelling:  WWII era aircraft
Favorite scale: 1/32, currently being seduced by 1/24 - I just love the detail you can fit in!
Loves:  Fig rolls, Tank Girl, Weezer
Hates:  Driving, not having enough time
Currently building: VFS P-47D (aka The Behemoth)
Favorite Cheese:  Wensleydale & Cranberry
Currently listening to: Johnny Cash - American IV:The Man Comes Around
Kit in the stash least likely to ever be built:  Classic Airframes 1:48 Supermarine Walrus (I just know I'll muck it up).
Favorite part of modelling: Painting and weathering, particularly cockpits.
Least favorite part of modelling: the 'fill, sand, fill, sand" routine.
If the house were burning down, which kit would you rescue: It would have to be the Airfix 1:24th Mosquito.
Modelling tools I couldn't live without:  Q-tips, disposable shot glasses, medium sanding stick.

Info:  I'm a typical 'returned to modelling' type.  I built mostly aircraft as a kid, then gave it up for cheap booze and expensive women.  I never entirely lost interest, and when I was studying at university for my nursing qualification, I found I needed something to take my mind off the essay writing. Model making was the perfect cure. I'm lucky to have an attic room which is my 'man cave', where I escape to whenever possible.  I work full-time and have a busy home life, so I don't get to spend as much time in there as I'd like.  I describe myself as an 'experimental modeller', as I love trying out new / different methods and materials, and frequently spend a lot of time experimenting with a technique before applying it to plastic.

Other hobbies besides modeling: Mountainbikes and Roadbikes, anything with two wheels and a chain! Movies, go to Airshows of course!

Info: As stated above, I live in Sweden with my wife and two daughters in a house with my own cave for modeling! I´ve been modeling since i was a kid with a break for school and military service, I served the crown as a Arctic Ranger in northern Sweden, above the arctic circle, damn it was cold sometimes during the winter months! Also life in general has kept me away from modeling for a while!Have done serious modeling for about 10 years now and i love every bit of it!

I love to do a lot of detail work on my models, i´m no rivet counter though, it does not have to be totally accurate, I just love the busy feeling on a model!

My other big hobby besides the plastic stuff, are cycling, i own 5 bikes so it´s safe to say i like bikes! The wife says i have a lot of stuff laying around in the house... I don´t know what she talking about...built and finished kits, unbuilt kits, model magazines, bike magazines and all bikes! The bikes are mostly in the garage though, but sometimes some of them are in the house to! On top of that, my two daughters stuff to! I have to say tough, that most of the stuff are were they should be!



 

Name: Stefan Carlsson
Age: 47
From: Nol, 25km north of Gothenburg Sweden
Favorite type of modeling:  WWII Aircraft , Armour, and also Modern Jets
Favorite Scale: Most 1/48 in Aircraft's but 1/32 WWII Fighters is nice. 1/35 Armour, mostly German Panzer's
Info: I build my first kit at the age of 7 but it has been the last 25 years that it has become more serious modeling done. Have a period when I built and sail with RC scale model boats and that was really fun but after a while I discover that I thought it was more fun to build the boats than to run them so that took me back to the plastic models again, and I have stayed there since.

Other hobbies besides modeling: Since my military service as a Dog Handler in a Close Area Defense Company in the Swedish Air Force so have I had a love for dogs especially German Shepherd Dogs and I have also had the fortune to own one. The training and competitions with him was the best years in my life. He is now gone since a couple of years but I will never loose the interest for dogs and learn more about them. The other things that take the time besides the modeling is to watch movies and read, mostly WWII history

Name: Dave Beswitherick
Age: 39

Location: Palmerston,Ontario, Canada
Occupation: Service tech for a small local security company.

About me and the hobby: I am yet another returnee (3 yrs) to this great hobby of styrene and glue after an 8 year absence. I have built models since I was 10 yrs old. My first ever model was for Christmas and was an X-wing fighter from AMT. It was a mess but my Dad and I had a blast with it. Since finally getting my first computer in 2000.....yeah took me awhile, I have been awed by many models I have seen on websites and youtube, and of course Flory models.

I can't really say I have a preffered genre though I keep coming back to auto's and I LOVE RUSTING THEM!!!. But, really I love it all. I continue to try and learn new things and what I learn I like to share.
