My name is Michael Butry and where do I begin?
My dad introduced me to this great hobby of ours when I was just knee high to a Testors rattle can!(7yrs old) MPC's 1/72nd C-130 was the first kit dad let me sink my teeth into by letting me paint the back section of the interior. After almost 38 years, I'm still building strong and yes, I still have that C-130!
Modeling is my passion, my drug, a way to express myself. But most importantly, it's a great bonding tool that I share with my dad, who at 81 is still building strong. At about the same age that I was introduced to the hobby, I was able share the same love with my son Aaron(now 15yrs old). It's definitely a great feeling to have the distinction of having three generations of modelers in the family!
Since I grew up around aircraft, my main focus is military aviation, then armor and lastly, fast targets... I mean cars.
I've been a member of IPMS Niagara Frontier chapter since right around 1998 and became our clubs president two years ago.
Thank you for allowing me to introduce myself and here's my dungeon where the magic is made along with just a few of my builds.
Happy modeling,
Mike
