My favourite subject is still narrowly focused on the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) Armour, subjects ranging from early 1967 till today. I am sure I am not the only one who get excited whenever I see a picture of new IDF armour. I normally plan my models in carefully designed DIORAMAS to illustrate the unique characteristics of these vehicles as AFV model without base is seriously looking out of the place in your display cabinets.

Of course, I did not get stucked in just military AFV & diorama building. I also ventured into FIGURE PAINTING & garage kits since these are really fun to work on and demand a minimum level of passion to get it right. Different kind of modelling topics require different ways of handling. Sad to say, I have yet to master any one of them! There are always rooms for improvement. The only thing I strive for is to build a better model than the last one. Luckily, many years of modelling competitions have helped me to become a better modeller since I am always amazed by those unbelievable serious works!

Last but not the least, before I put a stop on my self `illustration', I would like to take this opportunity to thank my wonderful wife for supporting this demanding hobby of mine 99% for the past few years and "casting" out my little "hoodlum" boy! She would rather I build a model than to surf the net or immerse in computer flight simulations. Not many guys out there are this lucky! She is one of the few gals that actually enjoy looking at both completed & half finished works. How many actually do that? Most of the ladies can't even be bothered with it be it painted or not! And all you modelling guys out there know that I am not lying!
