About MeBorn in Slovakia in 1982. I started to build my first models early on when I was a small kid. I was impressed by seeing my grandfather building WWII airplanes and soon started to build my own pieces.
Until 1989, during the socialist era in Slovakia, it was difficult to get foreign models so I build whatever we could get in the local toy stores. They were mainly kits from KP and SMER. When I got to my teenage years, I stopped modeling because of other interests (mainly girls of course). In 2003 I've got back to the plastic world when I attended an Art university. After studies I moved to Prague in Czech Republic, which could be called the mecca of European modeling. I love to build anything that has wheels, mainly jeeps and small armored vehicles.. Since 2015 I've been living in Israel and I became a member of IPMS Israel. achievements> 2015 - IPMS Israel national contest, 1st place in 1/35 AFV category 2016 - IPMS Israel national contest, 1st place in 1/35 AFV category 2016 - IPMS Israel national contest, 1st place in 1/72 AFV category 2016 - Eday Czech Masters category, 4th place in 1/35 scale 2017 - Eday Czech Masters category, 3rd place in 1/35 scale 2017 - IPMS Israel national contest, 2nd place in 1/35 AFV category 2017 - IPMS Israel national contest, 2nd place in civil cars category 2018 - Moson Model Show, silver medal in 1/35 scale 2018 - IPMS Israel national contest, 1st place in 1/35 AFV category 2018 - IPMS Israel national contest, 1st place in 1/72 AFV category *photos of my models were taken by Eldad Kfir, professional photographer, great modeler and my good friend. |
