I began building scale models at a young age and have fond memories of spending many hours with my father at the kitchen table building various aircraft to “fly” around the room with when done. Some, of course!, met a fiery or explosive end in the backyard while others were suspended from the ceiling in my bedroom until I had a mini Smithsonian-like collection.
I returned to the hobby in 2002 and took an interest in building scale model armor after playing World War Two Online and getting to “drive” various tanks around the European countryside. I was hooked on the “dark side” of building 1/35 scale armor models and have not looked back since! I started writing step-by-step articles for publication in 2006 and much of what I have learned and continue to learn came from online sources and forums. This site is a way for me to continue that tradition and give back a little bit to the model-building community while enjoying the hobby as an individual builder.
BP Models: Site History
The site was originally created in 2006 to serve as a sort of “virtual notebook” where I could store my scale model build notes and in-progress photos for easy reference when it came time to write up projects and convert them into articles for publication. Since then it has expanded to become a repository for all of the scale model build projects I’ve completed since 2006 and become a reference for other builders attempting the same kits or similar projects. Not bad for what was supposed to be the online equivalent of a spiral notebook crammed with notes and stray photos of scale model projects! Feel free to browse all the Build Logs in the Archive.
