Am an avid History and War reader since a very early age. I do dabble in modelling at times - still with a mild stash. Mostly interested in WWII Japanese Flying boats & Seaplanes. Have built over time Armor - a few landing craft with a Japanese ‘‘flavor’’ Like to do a bit of WHAT-IF which sometimes I find was quite possibly done in real life as well. I do belong to and endless stream of Forums and Blogs etc. which I flit through to keep up with modelling news. Am an IPMS Cape Town member plus Armor Interest Group and Historical Military Society. Have a modest War Book library and until 2008 use ot own over 50 Fire arms/edge weapons plus Ammunition / Helmets etc.
