My story is typical of all I have seen. I started as a child with my father, slacked off in my teen years, went into the service, got out, got married, took a while off. I got back into it about 25 years ago, sporadically, then seriuosly about 10 years ago. I build mostly 1:48 scale and mostly aircraft, although I have built armor and a few sci-fis. I am always looking to get better which is why I always read FSM.
