My name is Richard Marmo. Since 1967, I have combined non-fiction freelance writing and freelance modelbuilding into a single, multifaceted business. Over the years, I have authored several hundred articles and magazine columns, three print books (with a fourth in the works), three CD-ROMs, ghost-written material on request and more. While most of the articles have focused on modelbuilding in one way or the other, subjects have ranged from modelbuilding of all types (aircraft, armor, automotive, ships, model railroading, science fiction, dollhouse miniatures) to aerospace, aviation history, home remodeling, full-size furniture kits and more. I can also produce original instructions for new products, as well as analyze and revise existing instructions. And I have the capability to photo-illustrate all commissioned work on an as needed basis.

I'm an aircraft nut, with science fiction not very far behind.  A few other things about me are that I love to read, have a deep and abiding interest in history, genealogy, photography and woodworking...among many other things.  Simply put, I have an insatiable curiosity about just about anything.  If any of you would like to know more, or just kick around some of the things I've mentioned, drop me a line.
