About Me
I started modelling at a very young age, maybe 7 or 8 with help from older relatives. Became a serious modeller in my teens and then somewhere in my late 20's life got in the way in the form of 6 years in the MOD, and far too many years to count in IT in the Finance sector. A large family meant that I could only dabble a little now and then, until in my late 50's I started back and am now seriously hooked again. I will build almost anything but main focus has been 1/72 aircraft (including gliders) from the 60's, 70's and 80's as well as similar subjects in 1/48 and 1/144 scale. I have recently become a Volunteer modeller at the Tank Museum, so have started to build a collection of 1/35 AFV's for display and instruction purposes. A past passion for finescale railway modelling also means I have a number of etched brass and white metal locomotive models forming part of the collection.
My stash has grown in recent years to the point that I probably can't possibly build them all, but who knows, and the stash is part of the fun!
