Dave is a modeler based in Toronto who specializes in box dioramas, and his work has won awards at shows throughout the U.S. and Canada. He never strays far from his passion, as his day job is the owner of Hornet Hobbies, an outstanding brick-and-mortar hobby store—an increasingly rare but wonderful thing thing these days!
