Ken Quast Model Maker

Ken Quast has been a model maker since the age of eight. He remembers some of his first models being made from plastic injection molded kits. The first 2 kits built were Christmas gifts from his parents. They were of a Volkswagon 10 window bus and one of the television show “The Monkeys” Monkey Mobile. Ken has been building ever since working in many different arenas. From fabricating in industry, building and repairing traditional boats, modifying professional cameras and adapting components to them.
