Found this old picture in a photo album this morning. Probably 1985. My parents kitchen table

The Phantom was clearly a favorite!

Nice to see old builds, especially pics taken with good ol’ (?) analogue cameras!

Very cool! I wish I had taken pics of the kits I did as a teenager.

Bruce, I remember at one point having at least 80 hanging from the bedroom ceiling or on the book shelves in my room. Oh to have some of those back.

When I was 13 we went to England to see my grandparents. Spent a month there. Every penny of my spending money was used to buy kits. Dad had to buy an extra suitcase to get them all home.

That is an awesome display. I have a few pics like that buried somewhere in my house. I have almost all my models from when I was a kid anyway.

Keep posting them as you find them!
