I've been a modeler for a long time, since the mid- to late-1960s. Over the years I've built more kits than I can remember, mostly 1/48-scale WWII aircraft and 1/35-scale armor. I had to take a break from the hobby for a while but I've gotten back into it, albeit slowly. I've also been a reader (and subscriber) of FSM. My reading has been curtailed due to circumstances (retired/disabled - money is TIGHT) but still get a copy when I can.
