My hero John Douglas McHard, the picture of sartorial elegance :D One of the finest model builders there ever was.

I love the old photos of modellers in the 40's, sleeves rolled up, not a picking on them, and those giant de-mob trousers up to just below nipple level :D
There are some who still fight the good fight though, I remember a very dapper David Kinsella at Old Warden a coupe of years ago, and there are still a few tie wearers about. I wonder if we'll ever see another dickie bow as sported by Ray Malstrom?
Me, I'm northern. When I launch a model It's a flat cap and a determined grimace all the way!
