Scratch-built and modified kit R/C tanks representing WW II era vehicles from 18' to 30" long in metal and plastic with accompanying scale buildings (1/16th scale). Can demonstrate infra-red battling (1/16th) and show prototypes and explain molding and casting processes in metal and resin using sample molds and parts.

I am the founder and current president of the oldest club in the U.S devoted to radio-controlled model tanks: the S.F. Bay Area Tankers, which was started in 1992, and is headquartered in Portola Valley, Ca. I'm 56, married, and live in the East Bay. I am a retired U.P.S. Teamster who makes jewelry part-time. I have many radio-controlled scale tanks and have helped another modeler to build one-of-a-kind operational models of famous WW II AFVs (armored fighting vehicles). Currently I am working on developing a couple "garage kits" in 1/16th scale of WW II tanks using metal and resin casting techniques.
