Making Models to keep me out of the pub…
So I’m not sure what to put here, but let’s start with who I am.
I’m Nik. A 37 year old dad of one, military aviator and occasional model aircraft builder.
I’ve been making model aircraft kits since I was probably around 5 years old when I was introduced to the hobby by my dad who had been a model builder himself too. I left the hobby to play sports and dabble in other hobbies like Warhammer 40k as a teen and picked it up again as an Air Cadet in the UK. I had my first bit of success in modelling when I was given my first airbrush and compressor, which elevated my modelling skills to a level beyond where I’d been with the old fashioned brush and tins of Humbrol Enamel.
I’ve had several models published in model aircraft magazines, but now I build entirely for fun.
I specialise in 1/48 Scale Cold War aviation, but I do like to branch out into other genres and scales from time to time.
Hopefully a few tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way might help others to progress their skills or even just enjoy talking nerdy hobbies together here.
Nik
