Hi there. I'm Alan, from the frozen North (or Scotland, as we call it).

My chief interest is in steampunk/dieselpunk, which takes up a lot of my 3D modelling time, but I would find it useful to produce maps to help me create the background 'story' for my scenes. In my youth I used to play D&D and classic Traveller/Megatraveller, but after Queen Victoria died my heart wasn't in it.

I'm retired now, having had various jobs over the last 50 years or so. This gives me time to delve into my family history, do some 3D modelling, and get back to a bit of travelling in the post-Covid era. With my wife Jeannie, who has put up with me for nigh on 47 years, we have been fortunate enough to visit lots of interesting places including Petra, New York, St. Petersburg and Moscow. The Caribbean is next (this Saturday), and in August we're bound for Iceland and across the Arctic Circle to the North Cape - can't wait.
