Alan Place - model maker

 Modelling


In my younger days, I did a lot of modelling - not thar kind - I used to be an avid model maker. Two things, other than having a family stopped me, difficulty with my eyesight at close range, and my hands devolped a tremble.
One of my earliest models was an Ariel Square 4; shown above. I have always been a motorcycle fan, than a car fanatic, I also enjoyed watching trains, not the newer engines.
I had some hilarious moments, such as leaving a model under a lamp to dry the glue, and ending up with droopy wings.
