Hello everyone,
My name is Corky Ertle and I have been building 1/32nd, 1/48th and 1/72nd scale aircraft w/ the occational armor and truck model thrown in on/off the for the past 36yrs. I received a 1/72 scale British Lancaster Bomber for my 10th birthday many yrs ago and was hooked. I've mostly built Monogram/ Revell models, I had the 48th/72nd scale aircraft hanging from the ceilings or on a tall bookshelf in my bedroom and the spare room. My parents had no problem giving me $20 to keep me off the streets, I learned to be patient when building my models. I think I did good work on the models I have done over the yrs, I have watched some of the tutorial videos on Youtube and realized I have room for a lot of improvement. Unfortunately my model collection has not survived several moves and 2 Hurricanes (Ivan 2004 and Dennis 2005) as they were in storage. I now lack a model work and display area, as my wife and I live in a small house, I am now making an effort to get back into the hobby again, so I am going back to the basics. I plan on investing in a airbrush and compressor in the near future, also I plan on doing the upcoming GB on Non military vehicles in March
