I'm a computer scientist of economics, self employed and have on the way the last twenty years.
During this time I bought a lot of kits, but didn't had the time to build them.
Today there are about 1,500 kits in my storage plus ca. 800,000 figures.
There are also a few hundreds ready made models, at least 25 years old.

I have been active in modelling since the sixties.
My first model has been a Faller Fokker Dr 1, scale 1:100.
I've used a kitchen knife, mothers pair of scissors, normal glue, water colors.
I'm very sorry, that I threw it away one day. It woold remind me of my roots.
Now I'm collecting kits and figures scale 1:72 and 1:76, from the Stone Age to Science Fiction. Buildings, planes, ships, car, AFV, figures, regardless of which kind, only the scale matters.
