Hello, my name is Kerry. I am a sales manager at a car dealership to pay the bills, but in my spare time I build models, props, prop replicas and work on stage effects, props and sets. I also have a long background in special effects makeup and practical effects. I finally decided to join theRPF as it’s a place full of my people! Y’all seem to appreciate the eclectic and hard work that goes into making a “thing”! Facebook and Instagram only go so far!
Given my background in set design and theater I really like the place in which the scene happens. So dioramas, outdoor scenes, scenes with effects and larger items usually peak my interest. I don’t have a large house, so I tend to work in miniature so that my wife, who is very supportive, doesn’t get buried in my crazy!
currently I am working on a 1:12 scale model of the shrink ray from “Honey I Shrunk the kids”. It’s one of those things, when growing up, that really caught my attention and I love the madness of it. I’m building it out of raw styrene and some kit bashing. The goal here is to make the ray and then actually place it in a diorama of the attic! I’ll create a thread on that soon!
Thanks for having me!
Kerry
