For me modelling has been a way of life since the time, as a six year old, I was given the old Air fix Folland Gnat as a gift.
Needless to say this was thrown together with much squirting of glue and cries of ‘be patient’ from the attendant parent as I wished the Red Arrow finished in an hour or so. Nearly forty years on the wish to have the model completed is still there, just the desired standards are a bit higher, even if they aren’t achieved. Then again the location of my modelling activities has changed a little, as having once been confined to a tea tray on the end of the family dining table, and as such needing relocating at meal times, I now find myself with a dedicated space in the garage to work on a desk sourced from an online auction site with all my tools and gadgets to hand. This does mean I can have as much clutter as I like without the cleanliness of the family home to worry about along with splendid isolation and few social distractions.
