Hi
I ve been modelling for around 49 years now , on and off. A mix of planes ,trains,automobiles,military & ships.
North America was always in the background;Dad was a jazz fan;family travelled to/from Canada; kids TV… I studied American history at school, and I now come over when I can.
In my early 20s I got rid of almost all of the built kits. (Tempted to get rid of that plane as it takes too much room and noone wants it? Don t! Dismantle it ! Years later you may be able to revive it) .
Despite work, family, moving a few times ,the interest still remained . I got FSM from time to time,and got the occasional kit, in spite of myself.
A BIG thanks to my understanding wife ( and son) who have bought me kits they know won t see the light of day for a while to come. Now the time has come to get going on them before lifes runway runs out !
Years ago I was more interested in minute detail. Now for me the impression matters more, but each to their own. I m really impressed by those people who do finish models to an incredible degree of accuracy . I hope to finally get something finished thats good enough to publish.
