Model Gallery 1979 to 89

Welcome to the early years!

In the beginning was the humble Airfix and Matchbox Model Aircraft kits purchased from a Newsagents in my local Village in deepest Suffolk, England. I made my first models during the 1970's probably as early as the age of five or six. The models shown HERE are not the earliest efforts of course. Much of what you see here was built & photographed 1979 to 1989 - the 35mm prints then digitised in 2006. Nothing here is quite to the standard of Models or photo's post-1999 but - heah - give me a break! I was a kid. Let's take a walk down memory lane......
