What a load of old saddoes!

I used to be into making kits when I was a lad, Airfix ruled supreme of course, but I also had some Revell kits and one or two Tamiya. Mostly aeroplanes, but some ships, and cars, and tanks as well.
At one point I took it quite seriously too - had a craft knife to cut the pieces off the sprues, and used a liquid glue you brushed onto the edges rather than the polystyrene cement in a tube. The worst were the figures where all the belts and straps had to be cut out of a sheet of thin plastic and put on. That was fiddly as anything.
I have some old slides where to use up a film I shot pictures of some of my collection. I might dig them out, scan them in and post them..

I guess that makes me an old saddo too!
