Are any of you into plastic model kits?

Hello!

Are any of you into plastic model kits?I recently went to Hobbyplace(Melbourne-Australia)and noticed thier awe-inspiring variety of model kits compared to their r/c car range,which is also huge.Somebody must be buying these kits as it makes up most of their business-their range is HUGE!!!!!

I use to love these kits as a kid,I use to get one every week and build it to the best of my abilities-for a five year old!

I bought one from Ron Luke(Legend!)and must say I was thrilled building the model!I will definately get something more complex and bigger next time and give it ago!

Do any of you like this Hobby?Do you take it seriously and build the models perfectly?Do you have collections that you display?What about Tamiya kits?I also bought a Burago kit a year ago and found it fun as well!

Another question that arises is what other stuff do you do at your LHS-trains,rockets,Slot cars,wooden ships,steam engines??

There are some 1/24th Tamiya kits in my showroom.

I have a lot of old built Tamiya cars and bikes in storage.
