Thanks Mike! The Scots Grey has indeed made it into my queue. There are a few in front of it though.

Thanks Mobo!

Thanks Steve!

Married and raising two kids back then, these kits were affordable and well done. Fortunately, I bought more than one of each, so they still sit in my Gray Army waiting to be painted. Since Washington was released in '74 and I turned 74 this week, I thought it only appropriate.

Actually a series 77 classic is next. It'll be a surprise.

Thanks Neil!

Being a hobby hoarder, of sorts, has served me well in my retired years. However, I also parted with many kits over the years. I smiled as I gave them away, but it was quite painful.

Happy days indeed, judging by the number of replies to this post it gives an insight to the average age of the "modern" modeller, I wonder what the combined age would be?

Hi Ken,

A wonderful nostalgic build. I had an old Historex pyrogravure until that gave up the ghost.
Then I bought another exact same pyrogravure some years back from a new company. It's a wonderful tool - completely therapeutic.

Unfortunately, that coy does not seem to sell the pyrogravure anymore. http://www.landmproducts.co.uk/

I like it a lot, nice colors and work over the face.

Thanks Victor! You can buy inexpensive wood burning tools but the key for me is the ability to vary the temperature like a true pyrogravure. Luckily my old, stand alone, dremel speed control works fine for that purpose.

Thanks Eduardo! Appreciate the kind comment.

Turned out great! And you can't beat the price!

Thank you sir! Much appreciated.

One of the first figures I ever did, I think the first mounted one. The very first two were the Grenadier Guard and Coldstream Guard that came in a bubble pack on a card. A great build! I may need to get one out for nostalgia's sake. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks Matt! They are/were great figures to get started with.
