First two years of college (probably the best) I lost all interest in models, 1:1 cars and the female persuasion taking over. Going home for holidays I was able to work in some model time. Next two years, farther from home, we did build models ( for one thing, back in the day (late sixties) we didn't have computers)and I say we, as there were many of us living in the dorm that built models. Yeah, we were outlaws, painting in the stairwells and all.
