discussion An Old Newbie

[Mark G]

Hello,

Aged modeller with a ridiculous number of completed 1:72 / 20mm vehicles and an equally crazy number of kits to complete! Often a question of quantity over quality, with a desire to have at least one of every model & variant ever built.

Favourite period: early WW2 especially British cruiser tanks, PzKpfw 38(t), anything French... tanks vulnerable to someone throwing a rock. Also like modelling the Axis satellite states with their German cast-offs or home-produced effort,

Hi and welcome mate, enjoy the forums. Pictures are always good?
Coulsdon you say, nice.
I was unfortunate enough to work for Croydon Council as a Building Surveyor for 30+ years, and spent most of my time inspecting properties in the Northern half of the borough, eg: Thornton Heath, West Croydon, East Croydon, New Addington, Norbury, up London Road, etc.
So, if I ever had to do an inspection down in sunny Coulsdon way, I would consider that a nice day out, Lol.

Cheers Peter,

Did 36 years in Croydon. It hasn't improved much. The old man came from Thornton Heath.
