An Old Guy who enjoys Modeling

At 95, I have been ship/plane/train/vehicle/etc. modeling for 65 years and look forward to continuing for the next 20!
Currently building the San Francisco Cable Car, just having finished the London Tram. My last years project, from which I am now taking a break, is a 1:68 Victory from scratch. I have the plans and at proper scale, they provide all the necessary information to create a reasonable scratch model. Big!
I am the oldest one in any of the modelling clubs I belong to, but you've got me in Age (I am only 86). However, I've been modeling longer- 76 years. Finished my first model in 1947- A stick & tissue Aronca Champion, Guillows kit.
