About Me

I'm stuck in 1986.  I laid my eyes on a Tamiya catalog that year. (My friend's father knew a guy who went to Japan). I've been captivated since.  Porsche 956 was my first RC car. Grasshopper was the first buggy.

I picked up the hobby again in my 20's with Wild Willy 2.  I restored FAVBlack Foot, Hotshot, Fox, Wild DaggerWild Willy 1, Grasshopper because they were not rereleased then.  I bought TLT-1, Hummer, Midnight Pumpkin (Lunchbox shell too), Mad Bison, and Juggernaut 1 (Tamiya supplied upgrade parts for Jugg 2).  It fizzled with Terra Crusher.  There was Subaru Brat re-re in between.  

It got rebooted in the summer of 2017 with Montero Wheelie (planned to be converted to 80's style above).  The next acquisition was going to be Sand Rover.  But Bigwig re-re, Gravel hound, Blackfoot re-re (even though I have a vintage), Zahhak, and Konghead showed up at my door instead.  A beat-up vintage Boomerang was added to the fleet in July 2018.  In August, finally a used but mint (re-re) Sand Rover (DT02) was added!  Yay!  A used re-re XR311, NIB M06 Alfa Romeo Giulia (first on-road car since the 80's), and a vintage Manta Ray chassis joined the fleet in the fall of 2018. 

I was not looking to buy more, but 2019 still got a used TL01B Baja King, a nearly NIB M05 NSU TT, a used CC01 Unimog, 2 used DT03s, NIB M05 2CV and M07.  Due to Covid 19, 2020 was slow. Just a Dancing Rider in January and Rochobby 1941 Jeep in December.  Again, I wasn't going to get anything in 2021, but long awaited XV01 was available in June. I had to get it, even though I am not planning on building it anytime soon. July delivered MF-01X VW Beetle Rally. Dynahead in August.  CC-02 Bronco in November 2022. Nothing in 2023, but MB-01 Fiat in January 2024 made the 40th car. I'm failing miserably at not-buying.  

Aside from that, I read zombie or Star Wars novels (Lost Stars was the one hooked me. Along with Ahsoka, these remain as 2 of my favorites).

I whistle. I put together Tamiya tank kits, Bandai Star Wars and Gundam kits. I bake some and I sketch some.  Had two quiet dogs.  The bigger one expired.  The missus and I miss the old fella terribly.  But the smaller one snuggles up to us like there is no tomorrow, so we're fine.
