Old model kits - To build or not?

My thoughts... if you like the kit and the subject, build the thing. That's what they were made for.

My personal modelling dream is to go to a model show somewhere, buy the rarest kit on a collector's table, then bust it open and start clipping bits off, right there in the hall. The gasps of horror would be music to my ears. One day...

Will the tenner you'll get from ebaying it make you any richer?

Probably not... :whistle:

I would never even consider it, Especially considering my wife bought it for me :)

Ah, that weighs heavily. She bought it as model for you to build, so build it you must.

Absolutely, I am very lucky in that respect as she is very supportive of my hobby and is always on the lookout for kits in unusual places and bargain prices.

Build them. I love building old kits. There's something quite satisfying about building a 1970's kit to modern standards...

Cheers,

Tom.
