 Model making - No FM2R
That guy is the level of model maker I wish I could be but never could get close to. I shall follow that to the end, thanks.

#1 gave me an Airfix Lancaster for Christmas. At some point I shall do the model and will really enjoy the whole process.

I obsessed over Airfix models when I was younger, totally loved them. Then I went to some exhibition or show or something and they had models there which had been built and assembled as well as it was possible to do with superb attention to detail.

But they still looked like little plastic self-build kits, better than mine but not the *awesome* I had expected. It rather put me off the whole thing.

So I build one every few years, thoroughly enjoy doing it, do an ok job, and then eventually some little relative gets the finished article to play with and ultimately destroy.
