I remember when I thought if it came with figures I felt compelled to use them. Then I realized that a) I don't like painting figures and b) I don't give a crap about figures anyway. *chuck* goes little Joe Aviator.

Remember when Wal-mart, K-mart, and Alco carried a little bit of everything? I can recall trying to decide between a Tamiya Panther A and the Revell 1/32 F-4 and MiG-21 combo at Wally world.

I remember when it was about nothing except getting the model finished. Pure fun and enjoyment, no clean lines, no paint, no nothing.

I remember when I didn't know enough to want to be "historically" accurate, and wasn't ashamed by it.

orange tube cement, was that the stuff they brought out to stop you sniffing it?
Something I remember,hmmm, I remember being given a tiny kit of HMS ark royal(the carrier), and being so overwhelmed at it's complexity, I built in about 4 hours,lol. I think the glue is probably still setting.
