...or mid life crisis! recently bought an original Raleigh Team Burner Frame and spent the winter building it back up. Now think i'll look at building an old arcade machine with the likes of Pac Man, Galaxian and Donkey Kong on it. Anyone else gone / going through this...or is it just little old me? What projects have others done?

Don't need to rediscover my youth - I never lost it! Still can't see a good banister without the urge to slide down it - and if there's no-one around.......... If caught, I simply tell people I'm only 26 but trapped in a re-cycled body.

I've bought this model of the Titanic that I've been meaning to put together.....brought all the paints for it and so on....even some LED light strips for it. It's not a retro project but I'm looking into getting a new PC in June/July. So I'm all up in that house at the moment.

Not a project actually but i offered my 8 year old to watch series of “Back to the Future”. He seems interested and i used this opportunity to order Blu-Ray of the series and waiting postman to drop them with excitement Edited by blackheatheagle (26 Feb 2019 6.21pm)

my 4-year old son has recently got into my Scalextrix that dates from the 90s so now I don't need an excuse to set it up. It takes up the whole front room and is a bugger to put together but is still great fun!
