Editorial - One At A Time?
This editions Modeller’s Profile features our President Laurence Farrugia. Aside from his modelling skills which have earned him an array of
awards over the years, Laurence is one of those few that actually models on the “one at a time” basis. I’ve known Laurence for over 20 years
and can attest to his commitment to this, only seeing a few occasions where more than one has been on the bench. It’s certainly a great disci-
pline to have and it must be immensely satisfying to see so many kits going the course from the box to the display cabinet.
I have to say I have no such discipline, on a number of occasions through my modelling tenure, even going to the extreme of salvaging spare
parts from an array of unbuilt kits and clearing the bench. No doubt there’s a deep seated psychological, sub-coconscious basis for this behav-
iour but I’ll just stick to assigning it to simple over enthusiasm.. At this stage I have around ten kits in this state and while I’m not quite ready
for another purge, this may occur before the end of the year. Perhaps the frustration of too much self-delusion will again get the better of me
and I’ll once again kid myself I’ll model my modelling on Laurence... That’s not going to happen is it? The purge most likely will but the
change of modelling habits may last for a kit or two or three but then a new release half way through a build will probably take care of that
noble intent.
Another way of looking at it I suppose is tell myself I’m helping the industry by my “consumption” but that could be tempered by being honest
with myself about what a complete waste of good styrene it is.
