Got something to say about the hobby of model making?

Don’t worry Geoff, you’re not alone, I too have just returned to plastic modelling after a break of about 40 years. Due to being off work since May following a replacement knee op I’ve made 3 tanks and 2 cars, oh, and I’ve a U-Boat on the building board right now.
I only have a tiny stash of 7 kits to date, but at the rate I’m going I dread to think how large it might be by this time next year! :shock:

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing
