Hi there guys,
I am Remco and live in the Netherlands. As a child of 13 i bought my first model. It was a 1/48 MiG-29 from Academy. I found this aircraft had a scary and threatning look. Almost spraying a can of Revell stone grey on the bottom
, and some brown/ green Humbrol bloches on top, i was very sadisfied with the result...
My armor adiction came in 1996 with a whole diorama on top of my bookshelfs. My big bomber (A-26 from Monogram) came chrashing down on my diorama and everything went in the trashcan (i was pretty mad then).
In 2005 i bought a modeling magazine and i was sold. I wanted to build like this to. A T-34 from Dragon was my first victim and serves proudly as my ''test tank'' on my proving grounds. After i bought some serious books, my adiction for armor was there. Beginning on the western front (germans and shermans), there was something on the other side of the hill (something like Stalingrad and Kursk). After reading a lot of books i found this side more intresting. Especially a tank called T-34, who was mentioned everywere...
My main armor intrest are the T-34 tank and the Panther tank. The WWII conflict and shortly the Afghan/ Soviet conflict in 1979-1989.
I like to share techniques and talk about modeling. also i like to help other people with their models, so my builds are mostly technical. Due my status as a dad for my young children, i have not much time to paint. I build mostly in the evening for an hour or two. Currently i am busy with a Lavochkin La-5 (almost done) and a new project of a T-34 model 1940
I hope to hear (and maybe see you guys) from time to time! ( Hi, Dierk, Hi Luigi)
