And we'll let you folks figure out which one is which.
Anyhoo, we are 43 and 34 respectively, and I have been building off and on for the past 36 years. As some of you know by now, my little lady is just starting out, and enjoying it immensely. (Since I have switched to Vallejo exclusively, I'm allowing her to "constructively acquire" my other lines of paint: Gunze, Model Master Acryl and Tamiya). My own area of interests primarily cover the Focke-Wulf 190/152/154 series (including a few one-off "what-ifs") and military sci-fi, although I have dabbled in some other subjects such as dinosaurs, WW1 and WW2 fighters, attack helicopters and police squads.
What got me started into modelbuilding was the restrictions I had placed on me after open heart surgery when I was 7, and the subsequent installation of my first pacemaker (currently on my sixth) prevented me from enjoying the full range of activities kids that age and older could participate in. My father worked for Coca-Cola at the time, and the annual Christmas parties the local branch held found me given a model of the HMS Bounty. (And would you believe I still have it?) Next up was the original AMT "Star Trek" kit of the USS Enterprise, followed by a range of WW2 and modern fighter kits over the years. And yes, all of them are still in my possession; probably explains why my little "soft wolf" claims I'm a packrat.
