The passion of model-making was passed on to me by my uncle, who raised me and by whose side I grew up. He used to build beautiful cardboard models of ships, vessels, tanks and airplanes, which in a downright magical way has played with my imagination of a child. It was by a natural succession, that in the age of seven I have built a very first model on my own. With this, historical for me model of Ansaldo A.1 Balilla airplane, scaled 1:144, my adventure that lasts until now has begun. My first steps into model-making and the enitre affair connected with it wasn’t for me a bed of roses in the very beginning. Model-making in Poland until 1989 used to be a very pricey hobby, because in the communist country there was lack of everything (starting from the basic need, everyday use products), therefore the only way to acquire any models and accessories for their construction was to import tchem from behind the Iron Courtain. It used to be quite a difficult task and a huge challenge, however the more satisfaction I have had from each material scored, and then from the already finished individual piece. These were priceless acquisitions, which until this day are the collection of personal calliber historical achievements for me. From 1990, after the fall of communism and as already a grownup man, I got engaged with tank and armoured vehicle construction, in 1:35 scale, coming from the WW2 period. The easy access to many models in the free already Poland has caused my fast development and spreading of my wings as a model-maker, by perfecting my skills whenever it was possible. In the later years a new idea germinated in my mind, that soon became my dream. I desired to be able to use my model-making skills in money making activity, which would ensure a sound living conditions for me and my family, and which at the same time would bring me lots of joy and satisfaction through doing what I love for living.
