Veteran, Amateur Naval history historian. Main theme I build is 1/350 and upwards ships.

Area's of particular interest;
- Pre-Dreadnoughts of Allied Powers and Central Powers
- British, German/Austro-Hungarian and USA Dreadnoughts/Super Dreadnoughts
- British/Commonwealth Battle Cruisers and Heavy Cruisers. Particularly HMAS Australia I, HMAS Australia II, HMS Hood, HMS Repulse
- British, USA and Imperial Japanese Fast and Super Battleships.

I am also interested in Wooden ship building (Cutty Sark, Endurance, Constitution, Terror, Victory etc), U-Boats & Submarines (WW2 and prior), Select Modern Warships, Select Destroyers and light cruisers from WW1 to WW2 and also a keen interest in Armour modelling (WW1 is my favourite, thoroughly enjoy WW2 and more recent conflicts also).
