nob off!!! watched them all first time round with my dad i'll have been around 8 or 9....and discovering spike milligan , the goons,,,, that was the day that was etc etc....and still oday nothing tops the original pathos,satire and geniune comic genius of milligan. 99% of todays comedy can be traced back to original material written by Spike.

I don't think I can remember being told to "nob off" before.
If anyone did it here I'd just sack them so that probably has a lot to do with it!!!
One of the other Chiefs once got told to F**k Off. Mind you that was after he had just sacked someone!!!

( sorry fo my bad english
I must have been about 8 years in 1965...it was a ME 163 rocket plane, made by airfix or frog. My big brother tubeglued it and i was watching, but it inspired me to buy and build more models through the years!\ said:

Mine was an airfix Stuka, mainly built by our neighbour John. We put on the telly. Cat knocked it off.
G
Airfix Mig-21 1/72 it was 1979-80
My first was the snow speeder from empire strikes back. I remember this one well because although I did not know it, I started the standard panel line washing technique using thinned Testors black paint and spirits- it looked really good. BUT if this worked so well, why not try for the real thing? I actually burned the back end to simulate exhaust stains. and was 9 at the time. I then managed to ignite the model. All I saw was a huge black plum of smoke growing up and into the basement rafters - I was ready to crap on myself. I was quick enough to run the model outside and avoid a house fire. I was lucky!!!!!!!! I also made sure to have an excuse when my parents got home for the burning smell that engulfed the home. And to think that the effect worked like a charm too........:smile11:

My firstt model was
I seem to remember it was in light blue plastic and when I finished it with my dad I just put the decals on it and then played out 'The Battle of Britain' film over and over again.
I think this could be a great topic to get other like minded modellers to remenis about their early memorys of our fine hobby.

Yep like most modellers at that time of the dark and distant late 60s and early 70s was the Airfix Spitfire Mk9 in the plastic bag in Johnnie Johnsons markings.\ said:

i had the chairman of the bayko collectors club contact me recently, they want to come and see how we do our models at work !- 2009 sees several model shows featuring Bayko, its a milestone year for this old building product, i thinks its 75 years of bayko in 2009...
apparently the sets are worth a bit now !

First model
My first model was the Airfix F4B Phantom,I also remember Bostick glue.The tube had a funny shaped top with a small hole that always blocked.\ said:
G
Mine was the Airfix 1/72 Stuka, my dad brought it for me when I was in hospital as a 7 year old. That was 37 years ago! (eeeeeeek). A little poignant really as he died a few days ago.
G
Mine was one of the Airfix historical figures of Richard I. I got it as an Xmas present. My parents bought the glue and two pots of paints a red and a gold. Why a gold an not a silver for the chainmail I do not know. I put it all together, then painted it, but it looked a bit silly as I could not paint the face and the chainmail was gold. I must have been about 10, nealy forty years ago!
G
LIke DaveT my first model I did as a kid was an F4, too. It was then that I decided airplane models weren't my thing and I started looking for something else.
G
my first model boat was the veron carribean coaster.
i used to have it in my bedroom window,until our cat knocked of the window sill and it got smashed beyond repair.i also had a veron tug at the same time.

My 1st build would have been in 1966, when aged 7.
Airfix VW Beetle, 1/32 scale, green plastic, with a nice tinge of dried bostic here, there and everywhere!! I couldn't have blamed anyone else as my fingerprints were all over it.
I think that was followed up by a Lotus Cortina, the only final difference was that the plastic was initially white!!
