Hi!! I am from TEXAS . Former MARINE . Started building in the 1970's , stopped in 1987 to join the military. Got back to modeling in 1995 to de-stress from marriage!! I restore old built models , I find it more satisfying!! I have about 300 kits , about 500 if you count the built ups!! Will need to sell most here pretty soon. Too many , will never build them!! Love ED " BIG DADDY" ROTH stuff!! Love old toys and old cars!!
