| Now that makes interesting and re-assuring reading Duncan,I think that given the chance a lot of youngsters would love to build something,I was fortunate in that my father was my mentor,cannot ever remember him without a model on the bench,just like myself I think ! it is all about inspiration when you are young,you see these things taking shape and try and emulate,sometimes the results were crude but the seed was planted for the future,that is what we have to trey and do plant those little seeds of inspiration to everyone around us,I see work on this group that makes me marvel at the skill around,does not matter whether it be a battleship,spaceship or car it is all about model building,and boy is that fun !
Even a small table full of models at a garden fete can bring in so much interest and its good to give something back to our hobby,if anyone has not already done so give it a whirl,you will be surprised at the interest that it generates.
The more modellers we have then the more suppliers will cater for our whims and that for one cannot be bad.
Best of luck to that company,they certainly have the right approach.
Flying Lvvie seat indeed ! that is the Dixon Saucerplane made for the Magnificent men film,the original actually flew like the little model there,well spotted !
