Nope, had it from a kit I bought in 1995, I was 15 and started thinking big from the 3 inch I had since I was 11....

I hear ya.

I started off having a go at a mate's 3 incher. It was great fun. Not sure he appreciated me spending so much time on it so I got my own.

I went from 3 to 8 and of course recently, up to a whopping 14. Not as big as Dave L's mind and a little smaller than Michael O's. I needed to buy a massive tarp to cover it up though.
