Hi guys! I have been building since age 7 in the late 60's and remember my first two models I got as a christmas gift, promptly built Christmas morning in the lounge in front of the Christmas tree, tearing the parts from the sprues and slapping them together with a tube of "Ideal" model glue. It was the Airfix Reanult Dauphine and the Revell Shelby GT350, both in 1/32nd scale. Now, 40 odd years later, I still have not grown up and are still at it. I build any subject that catches my fancy, but have a soft spot for Muscle Cars, Hot Rods and Historic racers. I try to promote the hobby by writing monthly modelling articles in SA Hot Rods magazine and I also do a one pager in the same magazine about various SA modellers work. I wish thw website all success in getting together all of us "funny kit" modellers as we are sometimes referred to by AFV and Aircraft modellers. Cheers, Gerhard.
