The Average Modeller

The Average Modeller Blog was started in early 2017 while I struggled through a build review of the Diopark Mercedes for Darren at Armorama, it has enabled me to express my thoughts feelings and frustrations about a hobby I love and for being in my opinion an average modeller. To some, modelling comes naturally and others see it as some kind of expressive art form, there are those that do it for a living and those who use it to relax, me I find it a frustrating distraction from the normalities of life that has me smiling and banging my head against the wall in equal measure. Modelling for me is a bit of a journey, travelling through the battles and frustrations that I go through just to find the time and inspiration to get myself to the workbench, my annoyance at the limited opportunities to be consistent in a hobby where practice definitely makes perfect most of which are of my own doing. So this blog just represents me, my modelling thoughts and feelings and just striving hard to express myself in an amazing hobby full of fantastic modellers and maybe one day I will be a bit more than just an average modeller.

I am 53 years old and have been modelling since the autumn of 2002 when after a random nip into a local model shop on my way to work I purchased the old Tamiya Sd.kfz 223.

Many lessons have been learned since then and of course I would like to say much progress has been made too but then that would be stretching the truth somewhat. When not involved in any modelling stuff I like to spend my time pottering around the garden, spending time with the long-suffering Wife and partner in crime Kerry her children and our 2 lovely Grandaughters, listening to music, getting stressed at my football teams’ inabilities and procrastinating about just about everything else plus I have a deep and long affection for anything Star Wars, oh! yes and work of course where I am Site Manager at a large primary school.

Better late than never, The Scale Model World Debrief.

The build up to Telford this year was different this year and as I have spoken about this in my last couple of blog posts I will only touch on it here, it felt good to complete some models, 5 in fact which for me must be some kind of record, I cannot remember the … Continue reading Better late than never, The Scale Model World Debrief. →
