My thanks go to the terrific people at Salisbury Model Centre which I visited for the first time Thursday 23rd December. I wasn't sure what I needed to restart my modelling hobby after 30 years. They took me through the pros and cons of what I thought I needed, and kept things realistic and manageable. Well worth the trip from Winchester to Salisbury. They had a great range of kits, accessories and tools for all kinds of modelling; aircraft, rail or diorama. It could have been overwhelming but there was a calm and tolerant vibe from all staff and customers which made it a very satisfying event.
