A modelmaker's diary - the thrills, the frustrations, the mind-numbing tedium, and - of course - the insignificance of it all!
Published on November 11, 2004 By Kitbasher In Welcome
I've been making models from plastic kits for nearly fifty years. I run a successful local model club, I've served on the National Committee of the hobby's largest Society (IPMS), and I take my models for display at shows up and down the UK. But . . . . .

Just lately, I've been struck by an attack of modelling lethargy. Over the last twelve months, I've completed ony three models, instead of the twelve or so that I've averaged over the last few years. Why? I don't know, although I suspect that the 'idiot box' on which I'm typing - and you're reading - this is probably a significant factor.

So, I've decided to do something about it. Over the twelve months from this year's Scale ModelWorld show to next year's, I intend to complete twenty-five models. Further, I intend to document those builds here, in this 'blog.

Let the kitbashing commence!

I to used to build quite a few models myself, especially during the winter months.
Have been thinking about getting back into it.
I'll have to buy all new paints etc. but, it beats staring at the TV!

Good luck!
