Soooo -- Where the Heck Have I Been??


Besides moving not once but twice (with absolutely NO modeling space whatsoever, although that's finally changed), not fly fishing enough and working more than enough...

That should almost cover it. Other than that, my wife, kids and cat are doing great, there's a new train store right here in Bozeman, MT., and the updates to this site have now begun. Be patient, however - I'm still in the process of pulling site files out of mothballs and putting them here on the new machine. As always, stay tuned...

Oh yeah - the new train store:



Mr. Choo Choo's. Phone #: 406-556-1300. Web link to follow shortly. They've only been open for a month and a half and are getting popular - fast. If you live anywhere near Bozeman or are simply passing through, give them a call and stop by!!

The Hackitup Model Photo Gallery:



Updated - Digital photos of some of my projects. Take a peek.

The Original Home Page:



Newly Updated!! - Explanations as to my whereabouts, etc.

My End of the Hobby:

The Mother of all Finish Discussions - Fresh from the "spew" files, a few notes on paint.
Weathering tips, tricks, etc.
