How long have I been with Wonderland Models?
I first started at Wonderland Models back in 2007, shortly after finishing college. I spent a couple of years away from the company before returning, quickly resuming my previous role and feeling like I’d never left.
My Role:
I now mostly create content for our online store and newsletters, as well as running our tabletop games miniatures department.
Specialist Subject:
My main interest is in plastic model kits for tabletop games as well as historic ground combat - so figures, tanks, etc. I have an extensive collection of models for various fantasy and science fiction wargames and roleplay games. For real-world sibjects, I mostly collect military vehicles from world war two.
Favourite Food:
It’s hard to top a nice juicy ribeye steak, unless it's with peppercorn sauce.
Favourite Film:
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002) starring Jim Caviezel and the great Richard Harris.
Favourite Character:
The King of Sass himself: Elim Garak from Star Trek Deep Space Nine.
Hobbies:
In addition to building plastic model kits, I enjoy playing tabletop wargames and playing PC games. I have also worked on several tabletop and RPG rules systems, including the Focused Firepower WWII game that you can get for free online, which is designed to be used with 1/72 scale models. I collect hobbies - I really enjoy learning new skills and using they to make things.
