I put 2 years because I've been into the hobby for 2 and a half years 

First kit was a Fine Molds 1/72 Tie Fighter bought for me as xmas present by GF and I was hooked. Started watching Scott's vids and thought wow this guy looks like David Brent (no offence Scott!) loves star wars and builds kits of X-Wings! And then I was hooked on this site and met you lovely lot  ;D
