I'm a grown man, with a wife and family, and I still build 1:24 scale plastic model cars.
So there, it's out. Most guys I share this with give me an odd look, which translates roughly to 'Oh ... I stopped doing that when I discovered girls', or, 'what a loser', or 'geez, get a life'.
Well, I do have a life. Well, sort of, I think. Anyway this blog is intended to record progress, or lack thereof, in ongoing projects.
Photos of past work are here, mainly in styrene from the usual vendors:

I've also picked up a couple of high-end multi-materials kits, and pics of an ongoing attempt to build a kit of the 1970 Targa Florio-winning Porsche 908 from Model Factory Hiro are here:

In future posts, I'll outline some of the builds shown, as well as new builds as they progress.
Follow if you dare. This could get silly. Grown men in the basement with tubes of model airplane cement ... I think the Significant Other regards this as (marginally, perhaps) better than drinking and smoking and chasing women in a bar. Anyway please feel free to comment (anonymously of course, I wouldn't want to push anyone out of the closet who wasn't ready) with your own stories of builds.
It's easy: start with the Possum Lodge credo:
I'm a man
I can change
If I have to
I guess
And move on to the modeler's affirmation:
Hi, my name is T., and I'm a modeler.
Yr fthfl srvnt,
Tom

Hi Tom, greetings from another Browne, modelling in the UK. I recently returned to modelling after a break of 20 or so years, and found your blogs whilst looking for pictures of the Tamiya S600 kit I’m currently building, and I thought it was a shame that nobody seemed to have commented on any of the many posts you have written. I’m enjoying the content, so wanted to say thank you and hi!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are enjoying the posts! I am sure I have legions of adoring fans but, as you point out, I get very few comments. Let me know if you have any questions, comments or suggestions.
