CARL HOFF
cnh@ti.com

 

What can I say-I've know Carl since the end of 1999. It all started when I found him a 1/48 Ultimate Strike Valkyrie. Ever since then he has been a Macross Model madman! He has the rarest collection of Macross Garage kits that I know of. He also is an enthusiastic Mospeada fan-having tracked down one of the rare Gakken Tread prototype toys. He is a completist-that is certain-if he finds one kit, the rest of the series must be found and aquired.

Carl has been a major contributor to the Models section(and a good friend) so I'm putting aside his own area here. Once things settle down a little he is going to finish sending in scans and information on the rest of his model collection that is not yet on the site. For now I'm adding his Mospeada Tread models, his Wanted List, and his current inventory of kits he owns(below)-many more are on the way from Japan! --Shawn
