Hmm, started building model cars (if you could call it that !) when I was 15 until I joined the Army at 17
20 years service and not one single kit built, dear old mum packed all my model stuff away in the shed
Oh, not to mention, girls & cars in between
Got back into it 10 years ago after reading some SAE mags and this is where it became more than kids stuff, even got the box that mum packed away still!
