Richard Marmo

The author (1942 - ) is a freelance writer, professional modelbuilder and founding member of the International Plastic Modelers Society USA (IPMS/USA #2). He has also spent decades researching his family's genealogy. He has written three print books, several hundred articles & kit review columns, a growing list of E-books and created several CD-ROM photo galleries with more in the works. Along the way, he has produced well over 1,000 models for clients ranging from Aerospace companies to private collectors. A self-described aircraft/science fiction nut...ahem, enthusiast...he will and has built just about anything you care to name, depending on his client's requirements.

A native Southerner who was born in Memphis, Tennessee, he has spent most of his life in Texas (He got there as soon as he could.). He lives in Fort Worth with his wife, Nelda, his dog, Magnum...sadly, Magnum passed in December 2020..by the way, both Nelda and Magnum are authors in their own right... and more model kits than he'll ever be able to build in this life.
