Lately I have been totally obsessed with pinball. I have been a big fan of playing pinball since my college days, back when Earthshaker and Whirlwind were hitting the scene. But even before that time, I have been building models of all sorts. I first remember watching my older brother as a small child, turning a tree of plastics into a beautiful creation. Usually it was a plane model, and after they were meticulously built, he would hang them in fighting poses in my bedroom with fishing line. I used to stare up at the ceiling at night and imagine huge dogfights, buzzing around the room with guns blazing.

Today I looked over my collection of model kits and I thought it would be nice to connect with people with similar interests. I find it interesting that I love restoring pinball machines as much as I love building model kits. I get the same creative vibe and it is really satisfying to be able to create something with my own hands.

Show the community what you are building. Have questions about kits or building techniques? Let’s help each other out. I’m looking forward to see who else is out there and what you have been working on.

Here are a few of my latest builds...
