Hello and
welcome to my site.
This is a
page created by me to show the models that I have built, the ones I am
building and the ones that I will build in the future. Quite simply put
this is a page about model kits, nothing more, nothing less.
My name
is Tommie Granberg and I am a dedicated model builder and I have a genuine love for the hobby. My skills aren't by any means up
there among the best, but I do the best I can and I have a great time
building. Hopefully there is progress in the builds I show on the
following pages and hopefully it is visible since the builds are displayed
in chronological order.
That is not the point though. The point and the one and only reason that I
build models is that I enjoy it.
I began building
models as a child. Unfortunately I wasn't very good in those days,
but I guess most of us weren't. When I was around 12 years old I stopped
building. I don't think it was a choice I made really. I think that there
were other things that intrigued me more and therefore I got away from the
hobby for about 10 years.
Then in
1994 when I was 22 years old my interest for American cars had grown and I
was in the process of buying a real American muscle car, a 1969 Chevrolet
Camaro SS Convertible. While I was
looking for the car to buy I went to the hobby store and bought my first
model kit as an adult, a 1967 Ford Mustang fastback. Then I was hooked. I started
building lots of kits and I kept doing that for 6 years.
Then all of a sudden
I didn't feel like building anymore and I didn't touch a kit
until the summer of 2005 when, by chance, I came across an unbuilt 1941
Willys Street Rod that I had bought three years earlier. Now I was hooked
again. I started building seriously again, but then, in the summer of 2007,
I took some time away from the hobby and didn't build anything until
January 2008.
That
brings us to the current day. Now I am back to building again. This site is my chance
to show off the kits I have built as I am using it as a photo host for the
forums where I am active.
I hope
you like what you see here. Now let's get to the models.
