Even with neuropathy she builds better cars than I ever did. You can
find her stuff on E-bay under the name 'mustanggal', IIRC. Jackie is
her first name. More than that I wouldn't say.

No basement either. Just the 2nd floor of this old Victorian 'barn' since
the last two kids left 10 yrs ago :-)

Hi All,
Dennis Loep, male, from Enschede in the east of the Netherlands, near the German border. 36yo, so no old fart (yet). I CAN feel like one sometimes, but most of the times I (like to) feel younger.
About 700+ 1/48 plane kits in storage. Plastic, resin, paper etc. Have built some 50 over the years. I live in a converted horse barn, so all the kits and work space is up in the insulated hay loft. No basement, but still space left!!
Have worked in a model shop, a lubricating oil/grease producer and am now working in civil construction, where I lead teams building concrete structures on, under and above ground. Like overpasses, parking garages, fly-overs, rail road bridges etc.
Cheers.
NEXT!!
Dennis

So whats wrong with being an old fart who makes models...thought it was
part of the thing, train spotters have anoraks, we are old farts...well
46 actually
and yep..its the basement thats the modelling room/workshop, and like most modellers working in the space that you cannot swing a cat round in, never mind a 1/72nd B-52 (that might be why its now got its wings on yet)

"old farts filling their basements with stuff". Well I guess that
pretty well describes me. Actually I just turned 68 and have been model
building since I was about 8 or 9. I build models in the Fall and Winter
and compete in black powder rifle competition in the Spring and Summer.
Also Baltimore IPMS member.

Not quite an old fart yet (I hope) at 46. Started modelling again about 5
years ago and have made 59 1/72 models in that time. I have about 145 kits
in the stash in the garage (where my modelling is done). I share the garage
with 2 cars and 2 dogs.

Both 14x12 brms plus most of the walk-in attic. All this space and
everything is still a mess :-)

Will turn #@%&* this November, and retired last November. However, I do
not consider myself an OF. No basement here in Texas, so the stash is in
the garage, some 300 models of which about 50 percent are in some state of
completion.
There are two husband and wife teams in the club I belong to. They (the ladies) do build some very good contest quality models.
The wife and I share one of the bedrooms for her arts/crafts and my modeling. I am working on a mobile workbench so I can work on models and watch TV at once - or at least try - then roll it away when I am not working on models (will post some pics on abms when I get it completed - about another week).
Cheers,
Ray Austin, TX ===
