Martin Humphrey
Martin Humphrey - What do I build? Anything - as long as it is ugly, dangerous, weird and makes me laugh! Aside from that, I also build Home Front diaramas, usually scratch-built in 1/35th scale.

I'm an ardent stock car racing supporter following Bisca F1 Stock Cars and I also play around with classic cars. I own a 21 year old Mazda Roadster and I'm helping my nephew restore an old Mini. I'm an engineer by trade and currnetly work building wiring systems for utility vans, etc.
