I have been enjoying this hobby for 50 plus years.

Started off with the pocket money , Airfix kits. in the 6o''s 2/6 or half a crown that is 25 pence in today's money would buy a nice model plane. (I see the prices that same kits, fetched today and i could kick me self. lol)
The arrival of acrylics was a great step forward in this hobby. No more, smelly enamels, thinners etc. Super glue and the arrival of the resin kits. oh yes big step forward, not to mention the GK kits the vac formed and the Vinyl kits.
Had been building the metal figure kits and the Historex Napoleonic range of figure for years, then i found the GK kits (more model for my hard earned).
First airbrush i got was a Badger 200G( still got it) Though I use a H&S infinity these days, paint brushes did i use the sable and the man made fiber brushes.
