Building models was great fun as a kid. I was mainly into WWII era aircraft, ships and tanks. I've thought about doing it again but I don't think I have the time for it. As a kid I had to accept the limitations I had as far as painting and finishing them to a certain level with the limited tools and skills I had. If I did it now, I'd want to make them perfect. The shop I used to buy them from was a hobby shop that had a display with very nicely done examples. Things like finishes that were aged to show wear, etc. If I did it now that's what I would want to do. But I have too many hobbies and chores already.
