I actually got a chance to be a model builder for a couple of hours when I
visited Enfield with John Kelly. Yea, it was fun, but I don't think I'd want
to do it for long. Building several hundred (or more) copies of the exact
same model gets old in a hurry! (And I only built *two* copies of the model -
the model shop had a contract to do several *thousand* copies...)
