Model builders among us?

Posted by Jim Church on Fri Oct 24, 2003 09:44:50 PM

O.K., here's my topic for the weekend. It seems that quite a few of us are model builders. I know Jim Bates and Steve Toyrnay build, and Oliver just showed us a splendid Buchon kit from his collection. It seems the hobbies of model building and warbird admiring go hand in hand. My question is, how many of you are model builders, and what do you like to build? I'll start off by saying I like to build mainly aircraft in 1/48th scale (military, all periods, but mostly WWII), and armor in 1/35th scale (again, mostly WWII subjects). Are any of you affiliated with any clubs? Here is a link to our local armor club. There is a review of a Tamiya Schwimmwagon by me on this site, the only photos of any of my built-ups on line at the moment! :-( Look under 'Models,' then go to 'Softskins.' Jim
