About slodder
I modeled when I was a teenager. College, family and work stopped me for a while. Then I picked it back up after about 12 years off. My main focus is dioramas. I like the complete artistic method of story telling. Dioramas involve so many aspects of modeling and I enjoy getting involved in the variety and diversity of techniques, skills, and subjects. My primary focus is military oriented projects. I do not limit myself though, I model any subject that happens along and gets my interest. This plays into my enjoyment of variety.
