entire life. I started building models around age 7 or 8
and continued on and off ever since. I am a casual

have even won a few and placed third or better in most.
I build mostly Mopar factory stock but I do build most
other makes too. I love Muscle cars of the late 60s to
early 70s. I enjoy helping others with the hobby any way
I can.

Bob Black

big O! I am married and have an 9 year old girl. I love
hot rods, kustoms, vintage drags & bonneville cars. I
used to work in a body shop and have been around 1:1
cars most of my life. I recently started to take photos for
Model Cars Magazine and am constantly taking new
steps to be involved in the hobby. I go to every car show
and model contest that is within means including Toledo
NNL as of 2007. If you see me at a show, say hello!
Jay Kelly
BIO: I am 26 years old. born and live in Tasmania,
Australia. I am engaged and have 2 kids, Zoe 5 and
Kasey 1.My fiances name is Cindy, 20, shes the best
thing thats ever happened to me(had to write that
incase she sees it).I've been into cars ever since i can
remember.
I've been buliding models since i was about 15. Models
i build are from stock original to very heavily modified
and totally custom. I love to build tv and movie cars. I
only just started using an air brush, using flocking and
baremetal foil a few months ago. Before all these
things became available for me i was starting to lose
interest in building but never stopped buying more. I
have about 73 unbuilt in boxes, 40 in need of tlc and
about 90 built ones in my collection. You can never have
too many though right? I am restoring a real 77' F350
custom truck. I've had it for about a year and a half, still
collecting parts for the v8 to go in. Im building 2 1:24
scale replicas of it, (an as is and an i wish). I think
these will be done way before it is. Drastic Plastics is
awesome, it's good to have someone to talk to that has
the same interests.

Ron Kok
BIO: Living in the Netherland
Age: 48
Not married, just free and single ;-)
I`m building cars for almost a year now and made alot of
mistakes for filling my spare parts box :-)
My interest in model building is wide, I like to build cars of all
country`s and modify them to my own taste.
I build millitairy vehicles some times and love to paint a
figure between some projects.
And also important I love to see the work from other builders!
Cheers, Ron
Jon Anderson
BIO: Canada's home to my madness! I write
screenplays when I can't get a model built! Do whatever
job pays the bills in the mean time... Cut up vintage
plastic just to waist money... Don't bother looking at my
work! I'm just making GLUE-BOMBS for the next
generation to rescue!

Darryl Gassaway
BIO: I was born in 1943 in San Diego, CA and have
lived here all my life. I have been married since 1969
and have one son. I started building models when I
was about 9, airplanes, but switched to cars in the mid
50's. The first model car I ever built was a balsa wood
'32 Ford roadster a little while later plastic car kits
appeared and I was hooked. I built models until 1967
when I quit to find fame and fortune. In 1988 after
failing to find either I picked up an Auto World catalog
and I was back big time. Since that time I have built
models, promoted a major contest for 10 years, written
for both Scale Auto and Model Cars magazines as well
as having a monthly column in the now defunct AMS
newsletter. My area of interest in Hot Rods and
Customs mostly built in the traditional style. I plan to
keep building models and covering model car events
for Model Cars Magazine as long as I can. I love this
hobby for all it has given me and hope some day to be
able to give back even more than I have gotten from it.
