Who is The Old Imagineer?
Tim Bongard 'tis Himself. Born and raised in Roselle, New Jersey, Tim has
been involved with model building since his
childhood. His dad introduced him
to balsawood flying models early on which eventually lead to a lifelong love
for model rockets, building plastic models, and dabbling in model railroads
(one grandfather was an engineer for the Lehigh Valley Railroad). While he has
built a variety of subjects, Tim is probably best known for his model Fire
Apparatus and his how-to column in Scale Auto Enthusiast Magazine, The
Model Firehouse. The column's easy-going style reflected Tim's approach to the
hobby - that it should be fun, creative, challenging, and shared with others -
something he believes in even more strongly now. Tim has also written for a
variety of magazines and newspapers including The Pocono Record (Stroudsburg,
PA), The Citizen's Voice (Wilkes-Barre, PA), Fine Scale Modeler
Magazine, AAA World, Inside Track, and In Scale Illustrated, and
appeared in several episodes of PBS's Adventures in Scale Modeling.
