About Clanky44
I'm an avid modeller, with about 20 odd years of experience. I belong to a very small group of modellers here in Guelph, Ontario that formed GPMG (Guelph Plastic Modelling Group) over 12 years ago. We have our annual show (WELCOME - Wellington County Modellers Exposition) in the spring. We pride ourselves as a group that builds all genres of modelling. Like the majority of members in our small club, I too build it all, Armour, Aircraft, Ships, Sci-fi and cars.
