(1) Welcome! (2) I used to think that one needs a model to start modeling, but there are some exceptionally talented folks who build models out of thin air and card stock. See below: http://www.wwi-models.org/IM/British/weier...ristol_f2b.html http://www.wwi-models.org/IM/British/hp_0-400.html (3) Speaking as a married guy, I hate it when my wife puts me or my boots under the bed. Regards,

I stick by my view that a passion for the subject is the first requirement. It is for me anyway. After that it's whatever it is that compells you to scrap a component you spent two days working on and start again. I'm not sure what that is.

The perfesser is staying strangely silent about all these comments (so far)..... Perhaps wisely. There was an old commercial a few years back on TV about "you gotta have da luv" and "fust, you gotta have da ball". I subscribe to that. What say, ladies?

on that wise note, I'm headed for the ladies, all this modeling has made me feel ... peckish.

"... I accept that patience is a virtue..... If it is I'm in dead trouble because, as anyone who ever travelled as a passenger in my car will testify, I have none" Just out of interest, what part of the country are you driving in, and at what time of day? Just to be cautious you know, in case we should happen to meet, like..... Richard

Hi All;
For me. passion, patience, rationality, planning, a kit, the equipment, the imagination, self discipline, all rolled into one, are the driving forces...funny though, my models are still crappy after all.... All the Best Neil

Peter, You have a point, and thanks for tipping me off my high horse. My passionate championship of "patience" is probably because I'm so lacking in all those other areas! Rob

To MataHari:
You don't pull any punches, do you m'dear? I do believe that our good perfesser Stephen just choked on his beer. To Rob and WRLP: If I were blessed with a lot of patience, I'd have more better looking models, a la Stephen Lawson. I'm from the northeast USA. Driving along Rte.128 hashumbled me forever. Those drivers are just plain CRAZY!!!! >  >
