Since about 1969 or so...:eek: :rolleyes: :D :cool:

I tried to quit when I was in high school and college, but the addiction was too strong. I kept returning to styrene, glue, and paint. Building cars that I couldn't own in 1:1 scale, and a few that I could.

Now if I could just live to be about 325 years old, so I can finish all that I have accumulated:rolleyes: :D

Pretty steady from 1966 to 1977. Built one or two around 1982, then didn't start building again til 1990 and have been steady since then.
I'm planning to get cloned once or twice so I can build my collection in a mere 150 years!:eek:

About 27 years, but took a few years off before starting up again around 10 years ago when the bug took over again to build

About 24 years. 12 years building planes, helicopters, tanks and boats and 12 years building cars.
With some years of stooping during this time.

For me it has been on 4 years, in the winters only (2-3 months)
but this year I plan to model all year, you guys have inspired me no end
and made me spend too much cash since joining this forum a few months ago.

the last 18 months seriously, other than a couple of f1 kits in the eighties and planes as a child. Allthough i am finding it very addictive and expensive i enjoy the hobby very much.:cool:

I'm now 19 1/2, have been building since three years, and still trying to perfect the skill!

I have actually built my first model when I was 7, along with my dad, a Peugeot 405 rallye-raid, and now I looking to find the same car kit, just for the memories of it ;-)
