A few months ago I rekindled my passion for modelling after 25 odd years (sound familiar?). I decided to concentrate on 1/48 aircraft and have been enjoying it greatly.
Last night I went to the LHS to look at all the shiny plastic and I came away not with an aircraft, but with a Tamiya 1/35 M2A2!!! Then, when I got home, I went out to my shed and found the big cardboard box that has not seen the light of day for 15 odd years and opened it.
There inside was my Tamiya Sherman, Churchill, Abrams, Tiger and about 7 or 8 others that I lovingly built all those years ago. But what a mess! The ravages of time has taken its toll - bits and pieces everywhere. The bottom of that big cardboard box was strewn with wheels and arms and legs and panels of varying shapes, sizes and colours. Not a pretty sight.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I am in the process of cleaning and restoring my armor so that, once again, it can take its rightful place along side my other models. I will post a few photo's of the restoration work as I go along if you are interested.
My question is......am I coming over to the 'dark side'? Is it armor that I really crave again and not aircraft.
Someone please help me....I am having an identity crisis and need to fully reconnect with my inner self
Regards,
Bob
