The joy of "vintage" models

Occasionally  ( becoming frequently as time marches on) my modelling efforts step back in time to that sun kissed era of my youth. Models that I usually couldnt afford  at the time and by the time I could were OOP or were a rare find.

#1  Renwalls Mace Missile and Terra Cruiser tractor/launch vehicle.  When this was first released it represented the cutting edge of military technology and along with many of Renwalls "monster " kits ,like the Atomic Canon, were well out of a schoolboys budget.

                             My first IPMS USA show held in Disney World Fla


. provided the newly re released boxing to tempt the the greens from my wallet. Not necessarily my best move as it took up 99% of my cabin baggage allowance. We all have to suffer for our art.😎










 The size of the completed units can be judged by the 1/144 Fletcher class destroyer in the background.
