About Me

Hello everyone! Curious about me, eh? I’m Russell. As you can tell, I enjoy working on models lately. I began modeling for two reasons: I always wanted to build a gundam model (ever since I was a kid) for some reason, and I needed an escape from the headache inducing world that surrounds me.
My life consists of work, school, research, reading textbooks, and on the entertainment side of things watching TV, movies, and playing video games. If you noticed, basically everything I do can lead to a headache. Too much school and studying? Headache. Staring at a screen too long? Headache. Building models was my way out of that. I thought it would be nice to be able to sit down, relax a bit (without a screen in front of me), and work on something in a relaxed manner. This is how I approach model building. I am no expert and I don’t enter competitions. I don’t get stressed out over it. Sure, I try to learn from each model that I build so that the next can be better, and I do focus sometimes to try and do a good job, but my primary concern is to simply relax and have fun! It usually works.
Other than model building, I spend a lot of time on computers for school and fun. My degree is in Computer Science, so naturally I spend a lot of time with a screen or reading technical books. I enjoy video games (console gaming usually) and movies. Sometimes I play some music on guitar or keyboard.
That’s me! Pretty simple. Welcome to the site.
