That's a great topic, as I am always curious how people develop their modeling interests. I suspect for most people it has to do with where they grew up. That's not so different for me, as I am choosing to model the Arizona copper industry. I was fascinated by the mines and ghost towns as a kid, and now I am trying to recreate that little part of history. My era was dictated by my locale - as many of the towns were mostly deserted by 1940. I could also say that the interest in my area comes from my interest in rugged, vast terrain with open vistas and clear skies. But I can also say that my interest in that type of landscape comes from where I grew up.
