What inspired you to begin 3-D modeling? How long have you been a modeler?
I've been doing 3-D for around 3-4 years now. I used to assemble plastic and resin scale models but always wanted to build something from scratch. When I came across a 3-D package called Raydream4 in a shop window I saw my chance. What started as fooling around with primitive objects soon evolved into a full scale devotion for CGI, be it modeling, texturing or lighting.

If you could visit one - but only one - Star Wars setting (a planet, a ship, a landmark in the films) which would that be?
I really love the Slave 1. I'd like to spend a night in Boba's cell!

What's your favorite episode of the Star Wars trilogy?
Definitely The Return of the Jedi. I love the contrast between the forest battles on Endor with the primitive Ewoks and the void of the space battle with the hightech spacecraft. Too bad it was over so soon...

Who in the Star Wars universe is your alter ego?
Um...C3PO? No, Wicket the Ewok!
