I got started when I would take a brake from our IT department to wander over to see what my brother was doing. (For a time we worked for the same company) I would watch him make some models, see the animations he and made. Then he told me he was moving on to a better offer for employment. I knew my chance was at hand!
I came in on my days off to learn from him, some of the basics. Enough to show his boss that I could step in when he left. So that with my art portfolio landed me this job!
Now I come to woek to play with model jet fighters, tanks, hilos! With the ocasional Federation/Klingon or Empire/Rebel battel!
Making all the engineers jealous!
