Greetings from England

[Herne99666]

Hi everyone, I'm Alan, I'm 56 and have been model making since 1967! To say I have more than a few models would be an understatement! Currently getting on for about 2,000. Mainly aircraft but also Tanks , Ships and Spacecraft. Over time I have collected a large number of Star Trek, Star Wars and other Sci fi models. I tend to go for the ships rather than the figures. Aside from model making I am also a keen flight simmer and have a massive "virtual hangar on the PC", including several ST Shuttlecraft. Other interests include reading, history , aviation,(I used to fly light aircraft as a hobby before I met my ex and the money ran out!). I love music, (all sorts of stuff from Beethoven to Death Metal!) Movies are another big interest and I have hundreds on DVD and VHS. I served in the Merchant Navy when I left school and saw a large part of the world before being laid off in 1982 due to the Iran /Iraq war starting and the Persian Gulf becoming a no go area. I could say more but I can now visualise your eyes all glazing over! Good to meet you all.
Anyway, that's me for now. I shall post some pics of recent projects soon.
