You're a Bunch of Factors

G'day,

One of my hobbies is building models, Mostly German WW2 A.F.V.s " Armoured Fighting Vehicles ".
Started when I was a kid, stopped @ about 13. In the 90's built a few models "Star Wars At At's & things"( Never to serious @ it ).
But in about 2001 I got the urge to start building again . "never by the plans, always my own way . Of course "
Since then I have bought an Airbrush, Had my Father build a spray booth "out of an old dishwasher" fan on top as well as a out door spot light for heat & light.
Last count I had 31 , 1/35th scale Tanks & 36 odd infantry men "some infantry not finished" complete.
About 2007 I have had no less than 12 models that I am trying to build @ the same time. One thing wrong with this is that I am building tanks, planes, ships & troops all @ the same time. "Have a problem I buy a new one & have to build certain parts" obsessive compulsive.
Some of the models I build which may only be 25 to 32 cm long contain over 1100 pieces.
I have had fun building some tanks for my cousins kids & painting them in their favorite Footy club colors.

here are some pics of The Tirpitz 1/350scale German Battleship "not complete yet. The A.F.V's in back ground are a collection . I Have not built them.
