So am I - but (trigger warning: pebble about to be thrown into pond) I'm equally puzzled as to how some people could consider a fine RTR model as 'inferior' to a scratch- or kit-built one...
I first saw Garsdale Road at a Hemel Hempstead show in about 1971. Torandor Valley was also there, I think, and Paul Towers too probably but it was GR that stuck with me.
