Stik's Motor Pool- updated 2/4/24, pg.7

Wow, that's a lot of models. I doubt I'll go by years since I've built so many in each year, I don't remember what years I finished most of them. So I'll probably post by country instead. I do still have all mine as I can't bring myself to throw out a completed model.

Aside from a handful of builds, I don't recall when I made many of the older ones exactly.... Only where I was living at the time, so that narrows down the timeframe somewhat.... As far as getting rid of models... Many of the old ones I gave to my kids to play with....

[Duke Maddog]

That's cool, giving them to the kids to play with. At least they provided good fun before they went away. My mother did that for me; giving me her ships she had built when she was a kid. That's what got me started in model building.

I did that to my own builds as a kid.....countless tank battles fought with a bb gun or a pellet gun. Aircraft falling from the sky - on fire. Oh the humanity.

yes indeed... it's a good thing that parents never spent much time in then backyard when I was a lid or they might have wondered about the scorch marks on the lawn from the close air support strikes...
