Welcome! I can’t begin to explain how much joy the creation of this website gives me. I love the world of scale models, a hobby I have enjoyed for forty years. More to the point, this website is about the world of plastic kits, resin kits and cross-overs, modeling them, painting them and lighting them. There is one caveat. This is my world so there are certain biases towards fantasy and sci-fi as well as deliberate exclusions simply because I don’t love every genre offered in the modeling world so I simply choose to ignore them – sorry.
I do have a very curious mind so I love to explore and check out everything and sometimes, I will go off the reservation and try to build things I don’t really get – examples of that are the occasional plane and WWII diorama.
It is here we also celebrate the incredible artistry from model builAders I have discovered on Youtube – some of which have become my friends, some inspired me to create my own Youtube channel – sprueVerse – I’m a big believer in promoting the channels I love to watch. No exposes here simply respect!
If I find something cool relating to our hobby you will definitely find it here. Tips, tricks, tools, paint, glue, lighting, after-market parts and suppliers.
I sincerely hope you have as much fun exploring the website as we have building it. It is a work in progress so please excuse the dust!
Have fun, be well and most importantly, BUILD SOMETHING!
