Comment Allow me to introduce myself, I’m a 33 year old Swedish manchild with a (probably) unhealthy fixation with fictional spacecraft. I became a lifelong star wars fan at 8yo playing Rebel assault for the first time, followed by every star wars game after that. In 2002 I stumbled onto the XWAUP site while procrastinating on the schools computers, I was very impressed and followed every release closely. In 2011 I decided to learn modeling and opting myself and with some help from the community I managed to make my first OPT which was the Ssi-ruuvi droid fighter... just a pyramid with guns, after that I was hooked. I consider myself more of a 3D artist rather than someone with a lot of technical understanding of the game, my programming skills are quite limited. I work mainly in blender for 3d modeling and UV mapping and GIMP for making textures. Sadly I don’t have a lot of time to spend on hobbies nowadays, being a dad I do most work after the kids go to bed so don’t expect amazing productivity, I try to go for quality over quantity. Professionally, I am a nurse with a specialist degree in pre-hospital emergency care, driving an ambulance for 5 years, prior to that I was a combat-medic in the Army's arctic ranger(Jägare) bataljon and later as a medevac team leader. I have lately reignited my interest in plastic modeling, building the Bandai star wars kits with my sons which is where I got the inspiration of making my own OPTs of the X & Y-wings. I’m very impressed with the longevity of this project and the productivity especially the past few years and I’m very happy to be a part of it.
