I love to build. I particularly like working with LED's and sound to make working props or replicas. I'm a US Air Force veteran with an background in aircraft avionics. That's were I learned a lot of my electronics skill. Recently I've been building working props of Daft Punk helmets, Star Wars blasters and I'm currently working on RC Space Cruise Yamato with a working wave motion gun.

When I was a kid I had a plastic Knight Rider car that talked when you pushed the license plate. I loved it but wished it was RC. Lately, I've been revisiting some of the toys I had as a kid and remaking them with modern electronics. It's amazing what you can build today with the technology we have.
