Demetri
Hey, my name is Demetri and I am currently 19 years old. I am an avid aviation enthusiast and have been collecting since I was a young boy. This business has always been a dream of mine as I always wanted to make the models I liked that nobody else would make. I am lucky enough to be running this business alongside my wife Brigitte who shares the same passion that I do. Throughout my childhood a handful of times I tried to make a 1900D for myself, as it was one of my favorite aircraft. I would use clay, wood, and plastic sheets. All of these in the end were awful and didn't stand the test of time. When I was 14 I taught myself 3D design as a hobby to make model airports for myself. This eventually evolved into challenging myself to make fairly complicated model aircraft. A year after this I started 3D printing at the age of 15, to have a physical copy of my virtual airport terminals. It didn't amount to much until 2023 when I hit a stroke of luck. In 2023 I finally made a great 3D Printed CYYZ control tower that was sold at both Avworld and Threshold Aviation in Toronto Canada. After a couple of months of success, I decided to push the limits and move to resin-based 3D printing. I started with some small 1:400 Cessna's which weren't anything spectacular but guess what, they sold. This opened me up to this new path of making model aircraft as a full-time job, and let me say I love it. I love seeing the models get better every month and I love seeing how we can make them more accurate. I get to make all the models I wanted as a kid and get to share them with all the other collectors. This brings me to why I do this, its a couple of reasons.
1. I want to start a family one day. I learned early on living in Canada, it's hard to start a family now with the cost of living being very high. The normal job market is very competitive and buying a house would be out of reach for years to come. I hope this business can help me achieve this goal.
2. I hope to use this business as a way to achieve another goal of mine which is to start a Civil Aviation Museum of Canada. I have been to many aviation museums in Canada but none of them show the true beauty that was the Golden Age of aviation. I hope for this museum to have aircraft such as the Air Canada 727, CP Air 737-200, Wardair A310, Canadian DC-10, ETC. If this business can become a stepping stone on the way to this then I would be beyond happy.
