  Greetings Earth-bound Citizens !!

Thanks for visiting my Web-site, where I present some of the facets of my Hobbies.



Yours truly at a Model show at my local Mall working on Dark Phoenix

Hobbies and Interests:
* Building/Painting Models
* Collecting certain types of Non-Sports Cards
* Reading/Collecting certain Comics


Models
I mainly like to assemble and paint 1/6 scale Vinyl kits of sci-fi and comic book characters. I find kits made from that material the easiest to work with, and not as expensive to buy, as for example, resin ones.

Non-Sports Cards
Back in the 60's, as a kid, I collected some of the trading cards from back then, like the Batman painted sets, Outer Limits, Green Hornet, James Bond, Rat Patrol, and Marvel sets. Maybe some day I will scan all of it and put it up on this site Also, during the mid 1990's through early 2000's, I was collecting some of the "recent" Sci-Fi and comics related sets. I really haven't done much with my collection since then. I have a want / trade list.

For Non-Sports cards, what I have really concentrated on since 2002, are Sketchagraphs and Sketch cards, which are pieces of hand-drawn artwork inserted into the packs ... not reproductions, as with most trading cards.

Sports Cards
I also have many Baseball and Football cards from my childhood, mainly the years 1964 - 1969, including Mickey Mantle's, Mike Ditka's, etc. I decided to catalogue some of the ones for "key player".

Comics
I mainly collected comics as a kid back in the Silver Age (I am "dating" myself), and I have an extensive collection of such. Back in the mid to late 90's, as my nephews "came of age", they got me back into comics. Some of the "neater" stuff from the mid to late 1990's that I missed, I have acquired, mainly by trading/selling some of the Silver Age comics that I was not as attached to. Curently, I am only collecting the "continuing" series of Astro City comics
Note: The Comics section is being revamped as of January 2008, and there is currently no link to it.
