An Interesting look at our Hobby

Our Andy from IPMS St. John's (and recent Peoples Choice winner at our show, with - what else? - A Spitfire!) found this Video link and forwarded it on to me. 

I think this is absolutely brilliant on SO many levels.

When you have an hour, no matter what your age, ESPECIALLY if you are young and new to the Hobby, or even if you are not into the hobby, this will give you pause to think.
