When I first started to really get into modelling as a youngster of around 9, 10 or 11 years old a series one Airfix kit was 2/6. I used to get 2/6 pocket money so glues, paint, brushes etc had to come out of Birthday and Christmas money. Then series one kits went up to 2/7 and I was gutted. I had my heart set on the 1/72nd Typhoon but come Saturday I couldn't afford it. My Dad let me have an extra 1d that week though and after some serious negotiations with my Mother they agreed to put my pocket money up to 2/7. I don't remember feeling like a spoilt brat though.

Back in the '80s I had my collection boxed and ready to go into storage when I joined the military and poof they were gone 300 + kits! Found out years later my Little brother and some of his cronies had a full day of fun returning them all to kit form and beyond.

I think some members don't share my sense of humour.I never intended to offend anyone.You can tell I was joking because I quoted a bit of Monty Python on my first post .where's peoples sense of humour for heavans sake.Some members need to get out more.Spend too much time in their sheds on their own modelling.Hang on ,Ive just described myself!Good night friends (I hope?!).

Haha excellent! Well now I believe it's time for something completely different! A man with 3 buttocks!

[Guest]

I think we need some more innovative methods of old model disposal, or maybe I just had a warped mind as a youngster!!

Trey I can't believe your brother disposed of 300 models and he lived to tell the tale!

I have a confession to make.A few weeks ago i broke up and threw away some very old 1/72 aircraft to make some shelf space for new builds!.I broke them up gently and placed them in the bin with care though.
