About Gary

I'm Gary VanOpdorp, GWVan60 online. I've built more than 70 wooden and mechanical kits, and over the years the hobby has grown from assembly into sanding, edge coloring, painting, rigging, custom signs, electrical add-ons and repairs.

I film my builds at the bench and write detailed reviews so other builders know what they're getting into. The 17 builds on this site are the ones I've published so far.

Away from the bench, I work as a fractional and full-time consultant in data and business analytics.
