you are never too old
O
f the many conversations
I had during the IPMS Scale
Modelworld weekend, two
stand out as both interesting
and pleasing. We speak often about
encouraging the ‘next generation’ of modellers
through the ranks, but sometimes I think we
forget about the ‘older generation’, many of
whom were either modellers back in the day
and are now looking to return to the fold, or
who have an interest in all things military and
fancy a crack at building plastic replicas of
the machines they find most fascinating. My
first conversation was with a chap who had
recently retired and was looking to get back
into the ways of sticking plastic after many
years absence. His aim, he said was two-fold.
Firstly he wanted something to keep his mind
active and his fingers nimble, and secondly he
wanted to have something that
helped to fill the void that work
had left. We spoke of the best kits
for him to make a return on, and
ones that would not eat into his
retirement funds, and where to
find the sort of information he
wanted on building, painting and
finishing such models. Of course
SMMI was a good choice to start I
thought! My second conversation
was with a fellow, who had never
before been hooked by
the ‘locate and cement’
fraternity, and was
looking, in his now later
years to begin building
World War II tanks. He
said that he had recently
We Recommend
begun to scour the shelves
of newsagents in search
of a new hobby and had been
impressed by what he saw in SMMI and other
such magazines, and had visited the show in
the hopes of picking up some information and
inspiration. Again we ran though a few options
and he was presented with a few back issues of
SMMI to get him going! I felt very encouraged
after these conversations, as here were two
gents who left me both inspired and humbled
at the same time, and that this hobby,
which we hold dear, was being
supported at both ends of the
spectrum! So as we run headlong
into 2016, we should perhaps
remember - you are never too old
to start sticking plastic!
Happy modelling – whatever
your age!
