I built a model of the howitzer my grandfather commanded in Vietnam. "Belligerent Banshee" hehe what an awesome name :-) 
Your grandpa served in Vietnam? Well i think he must be as old my granddad. But my grandad left us about 5 mths ago. He served with the British police in Singapore and was send to Borneo to combat the Communist follow by the Indonesian. Yup and he was using the 20 rds AR-15 then. Decades later, i am using a 30rds M-16 during my Basic training. I think some weapons will not leave us..

Technically he's my step-grandfather. He was 19 in 69, and thankfully he still has a while to put up with us

You know you're a modeler when....
a:your fingers are forever encrusted with dried paint/cured glue
b:you smell of enamel thinner, glue, and paint 24/7
c:you shed a tear when the hobby shop closes.
