Hi everyone!

I’m J, a twenty-something scale model builder, criminology student, isopod-lover, and nature fanatic living in the northern part of the United States.

I started my hobby adventure in the late year of 2018, with the misconception that I was bringing home a cool science fiction action figure from the comic shop and not a Gundam model kit. You could imagine my surprise when I opened the box and found kit runners.

“Wait, I have to put it together myself?”

Yes. Yes, I did! I haphazardly assembled the clunky little Iron-Blooded Orphan kit the best I could with nail clippers. That build lit a tiny spark of interest in the world of scale modeling that has only grown to burn brighter over the years. From imaginary science fiction models to realistic war machines, I devoured it all and made it my own. Art is another passion of mine that I am working tirelessly at to combine the two.

Now it’s my main hobby keeping me sane while I work to complete my bachelor’s degree in criminology. You can find me bopping around Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and more in order to connect and communicate with the hobby.
