About Gunny
I have been building models of all sorts all of my life, concentrating mainly on the coolest one's when I was younger, but now I focus directly on all military subjects, from armor to warships. After years of counting rivets, I put away the calipers, dial indicators, and micrometers and now just have fun building models! I am a proud military brat, raised by a rock hard Marine DI, with a long line of hero's in my heritage. In addition to modeling , I also enjoy all types of military research, in all media types, as well as militaria collecting. I also like to squeeze in some time for a little freelance writing. I love my hobby and like to promote it to any and all outlets available. Even though I've retired as Managing Editor and Campaign Administrator for Model Shipwrights Scale Modeling Magazine you'll still find me hanging out there at the warships side of The KitMaker Network mostly. Keep Modeling!
