Plastic models etc

Folks it's been great reading this threda as, till then, I thought I was the only 55ish bloke on the planet with a loft full of unmade kits. Like most of you, they've been bought with the idea that, I'll build them when I retire. Sad to say, the eyesight is going now (maybe what they told us as teenagers was actually true!)

I think I've several hundred boxes up there. I tell the wife that this is my recycling effort, as theye are actually insulating the house.....

I do build them from time to time. At my current rate of progress I'll need to live about 400 years to finish them all off.

Just in case anyone gives ou earache about this hobby, try this - I read it in a moel magazine a year or so ago. Think about all the people in the country with dogs. These people take Rover for a walk a couple of times a day and happily pick up hand fulls of dog poo - and you think I'm weird making model kits??
