A quick age poll of rec.models.scale posters
JJ (UK)
scale models was quite popular.
Loads of models in local newsagents and the marvellous models shop (Avicraft
of Chatterton Road, Bromley).
What's more, there seemed to be a lot less graffiti, vandalism and 'hanging
around on street corners looking surly and bored'.
Now, I'm certainly not going to claim that the hobby of scale modelling
could be the panacea of society's ills, but I do wonder that youth seem to
keep hearing the message that they need more Youth Centres and the like to
avoid them being bored and getting in to trouble. My point being, my friends
and I seemed to have more ability to entertain ourselves. And it wasn't just
modelling, any kind of playing, or just going to the local park and woods
with my dog, with or without my friends.
So, anyway, as a quick and dirty method of seeing of model making is popular
across the board or just with us children of the pre-80's, how old are you?
I'm 37.

a truckload of aircraft and went on to other things at about 13 when my mother
told me I was "too old to be building toy models", picked it up again at 30,
started (but not finished) a dozen or so since then, gave it up as a bad idea
last year and disposed of everything a couple months ago.

First model was at age 8. Built pretty regularly until I was 14.
Picked up the hobby again in my mid-20's. Didn't buy an airbrush until
I was 28. Been lurking on r.m.s. since 97, joined IPMS and a local

kits with a few simple tools and spray cans. My Dad also got me to go to
church with the promise of a new kit from the five and dime store across
from the church every Sunday. I was an aircraft enthusiast...although I
can't remember very many of the kits. When I got a bit older the Phantom
Mustang was my proudest moment. I then took a 30 year hiatus before getting
back into it with WW2 aircraft and most recently armor. My modeling
patience is much improved, but the eyesight and manual dexterity has
suffered.

I had the same problem with eyesight as I just reach 47.
I used to be able to focus at about 20 cms but not now. Even though I
don't generally need specs, I have bought a pair of reading glasses off the
peg for a fiver - they are brilliant and now I can get close and paint the
dials again on a 1-72 scale instrument panel.
Shakes aren't a problem for me - my painting hand is quite steady - getting
the right brush is important - I use white nylon brushes and enamel paint.

Hi!
So far I've only built cars, but airplanes do look really tempting. At
the moment I'm customizing a russian Gaz51 truck model (1/43 size
diecast) into a rally truck.
I love rallying and car racing in general. Am I weird or what? ;-)

part of my brush technique - less paint, and let my shakey hands stipple
and dry brush it into place. I'll agree with you on getting the right
brush...
I also find I tend to be steadier when using a tweezer, or some
instrument other than my fingers to position smaller parts.

Just the other day, I caught part of "Battle of the Bulge" on some cable
channel. At one point, there was a scene where a bunch of the big,
grey-painted M-47's doubling for King Tigers were coming through the
forest...all buttoned up - and I get that they were much too close together,
but here's the bit I'm unsure of....the were all waving their turrets back &
forth...barrrels swinging this way & that, like dogs sniffing for rabbits,
almost.........I was thinking that each track would have an assigned sector to
cover, wouldn't they, or do tanks really drive around waggling their guns back
& forth?
Thanks for clearing this up.
Kevin.

Hi!
So far I've only done cars (that's my "big-scale" hobby as well) but
I'm seriously considering trying airplanes too. Any day now...

*Helped* Dad build my first (somebodies B-58) when I was 5, spent my .25
allowance plus empty pop bottle deposits on mostly Lindberg 1/72 A/C and 1/32
autos (they were 29 cents). From 13 to 17 off and on with AMT and MPC $2 autos
till service. Started (hahaha) again about '85-6. I think I built more as a kid
than I do now :-)-----------50

Well... My last name - Russi - actually comes from Italy,
there's a town with the same name. My grandfather had some
italian ancestors, but that's all I know.
And 'Hi!' in any language is nice :-)
