I would venture to bet that many here did plastic kits since their youth like I have. Shepard Paine and the Mongram models Diorama tip sheets sparked my interest in history. These are from 1973. I was about seven when I started modeling. I actually own all but three of the sheets from the 70's Monogram kits. I am just lacking the half track sheet, amphibious weasel and the M48 Patton sheets. I thought I might post a few them here so some of the others that remember them can enjoy a few childhood memories as well.

Bloody hell, nostalgia....Takes me back to happy times.

Seeing those really brought back the memories. I can smell the Testors glue and the plastic fresh out of the shrink wrapped box. Thanks Pathfinder. When I moved out of my hometown lo' these 32 years gone, I donated my entire collection of models and dioramas to the Public Library. They were happy to have them as they had a huge glass case right up front for Displays. I'll have to go back some day just to see if they still have a few left.

It certainly does bring back much simpler times. I remember going to the local corner grocery store and building the 1/72 scale aircraft. My hands were always busy and I never got in trouble in my youth. I would up with such a love for history because of these 3D representations. I still have an orginal '69 Rommel's Rod, a Bathtub Buggy and a Circus Wagon. I think I have about 3000 kits in my kit morgue. If there is a particular diorama sheet anyone wants to see I'll scan and post it here. I have them all but the three that weren't color sheets.
