I started before I was 10, by 16 I had won 1st and second place at the Detroit scale modellers convention, later I built models professionally for about 10 years, until my current job forced me to hang it up. I built by contract and used to make $200 to $450 per model, later years I built display models for police departments across the world. It was never a full time job, but it was enough to keep me afloat for a while. Around 2005 I took on a new job and and did not have time anymore. I plan to get back to building a few models in the future, I specifically want to build a replica of my 68 Dart.
