Old soldier 1972 to 1983 Infantry Zero action.I wish I had been in for the last 15 years.

Started modelling when I was about 12 years old and on and off since consider myself as an average modeller always scared I will make a mistake and stuff up a kit swore I would never touch a RESIN kit yeah well have a bloody cupboard full of the stuff if it is not made in plastic what are you to do.Like WW2 from D Day onwards and the landings in Italy onwards.Like soft skin vehicles as well as hard stuff you can make a lot of different dioramas now not just featuring fighting but servicing of vehicles a lot of behind the lines stuff.
I think I am coming more of a collector now as I know I will never finish them all but I just have to have it just in case I hope you all understand what I mean ha ha ha it is just so good to look at it all and pull a box out and start to fiddle with the parts and dream about that huge dio you are going to make one day AS that man said I HAVE A DREAM.
