Welcome!

My name is Gerald “Hawkeye” Voigt, owner of Hawkeye’s Hobbies LLC which is based in Neenah, Wisconsin, USA. I’ve been a modeler for nearly forty years and I find it as rewarding as ever. My interest in the hobby has lead me to get involved to the point where I started a company to save a product line that I loved using SnJ Spray Metal and created another Talon Series both excellant natural metal finish paints. But I’m a bit prejudice.

I am a member of the Hobby Manufacturers Association, where I sit as member of the General Division Counsel as well as the HMA’s Marketing Committee. I am but one voice but I hope to make a difference.

My wife and I will be celebrating our 29th anniversary this year, we have two sons which are both married and have blessed us with four granddaughters. We share our home with one German Shepherd and two cats.

I’m active in my community as one of our town’s Park & Recreation Commissioners. It is exciting to work with others of the same mindset to develop and preserve our community’s Parks and Trails for generations to enjoy.

Through this blog I will share my passion for modeling with helpful tips, techniques, how-to’s, stories and editorials about our hobby and industry. It is somewhere where I can speak without falling under no ones censorship except my own.
