In the late fifties/early sixties, my cousin and I were heavy into the local contests and such, in central Illinois. I liked the 24th and 25th scale, but my cousin built a "Big T"! Great memories.

About 15 years ago, I got back into modeling. Took it to a much higher level than I did as a kid, but finally got burned out, and focused on the 1:1 toys again. I'll miss many of the great friends I made through modeling.
