Welcome to Marmo's Model Shop, a new website whose purpose is to help you become better modelbuilders. 

First, a little information about yours truly.  My name is Richard Marmo and I am a freelance writer/professional modelbuilder, have been since 1967 and live in Ft. Worth, Texas with my wife Nelda.  I'm also a founding member of the IPMS/USA ...IPMS/USA #2

While my first love, as far as model subjects go, is aviation/aerospace, I’ve written about and built models of almost anything you can name, from aircraft to architectural and trucks to science fiction. 

Over the years I’ve produced some 700 or more (I've lost count) magazine articles and review columns, well over 1,000 - 1,500 models for companies and collectors and have photo illustrated everything with several thousand photos, using both film and digital cameras.

I have three print books to my credit, several burn-on-demand CD-ROMs (two on aviation history), twenty-one modelbuilding guide/reference e-books and more.
