Getting on a bit.
Started modelling as a kid, never really stopped, although I tailed off quiet a bit when my kids were little, and got back into it properly a few years ago, when my daughter bought me an old, re-boxed Revell 1/32 Mosquito. (The Mossie was always my favourite kit - I was talking to a guy the other night whose Dad used to build them !).
I started back on mainly 1/32 aircraft, and then gravitated towards WWI models. Just recently have had a couple of less-than-successful attempts at armour and figures.

I keep getting asked why I bother, and the honest answer is that I don't know, I don't really care, and if it really needs to be explained, then I don't think that the questioner would understand the answer anyway. I like building models. That's it.

(BTW - the avatar is my English Bull Terrier, Red, who died suddenly a few years ago when he was only 5 - still very much missed)
