My 1:6 Scale Collection...

I started collecting 1:6scale figures about 9 years ago when a partner I worked with turned me onto his GI Joe figures... Now 1800+ figures later I have amassed quite a collection... I have 35+ vehicles & armor in 1:6 scale as well taking up various sections of my home... About 70% of my collection is WWII German the rest being a mix of American, British & Russian... My pride and joy of my collection is my "Field of Armor" Tiger I model that sits in my living room... I find working on my "hobby" a very relaxing activity that helps reduce the stress of my job... Luckily my wife is VERY understanding and has allowed me to annex various locations throughout the house for my creations... I scratchbuild a number of items whenever needed and do allot of custom work for others as well... If you see something that interests you, let me know and I am sure I can probably help you out...

My hobbies and interests...

I have numerous interests and hobbies... I have collected 1:1 scale WWII Militaria and firearms for years... I enjoy model building in all scales and mediums and own a HUGE collection of model kits I have yet to build... I enjoy target shooting with rifles and handguns... I like to go Javalina (wild pig) hunting whenever possible but have an aversion to hunting cute animals like deer (ha!)... I enjoy watching motion pictures and have a HUGE collection of DVDs probably numbering over 1500+ at this time... I like pretty much all types of music, with the exception of Rap (I don't call that music), and have a large collection of CDs and vinyl albums... I also have a LARGE collection of SIMPSONS figures (I just love that show)

Who Am I?

L.A.S.D. 2001

I am a 42+ year old Southern California Native (I accept your condolences on this)... I was an 16+ year veteran of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department having served in Custody, Patrol and Court Services Divisions... I was medically retired due to numerous physical injuries I had received over the years on duty finally taking their toll on my body... I am a husband with a thankfully VERY understanding wife who has supported me in my work and interests for the last 7+ years... I am a father with a GREAT son... I have a number of interests and hobbies but am now somewhat limited due to my physical disabilities... I have always gone by the rule my GREAT father Robert V. Orona taught me, " Always treat others the way you would want to be treated unless they give you a reason to be otherwise." This has been gold for me throughout my life and has allowed me to do well in everything I have attempted... I am a patient man, a decent human being and a good friend to those who know me and I am always looking to welcome more friends into my life...
