Anyone remember putting together model airplanes and hanging them from fishing line in your bedroom while growing up as a kid?
I used to put together WW2 and Vietnam era jet fighters and hang them from the ceiling on fishing line in my bedroom when I was a young lad. Many a dogfights occurred in the twilight hours!!!
Or putting together plastic model cars?
Seems like a lost thing in the recent generations...I recall every department store toy section had Testers or MonoGram plastic models to build. Now I have to go to Hobby Lobby or an expensive hobby store to recount my youth!
I was able to re-visit my youth and helped the 11 year old stepson build and shoot off some Estes model rockets. At least in this age I was able to modernize and fasten a cheap digital key fob video camera on the side of one and record the lift off! When I grew up (and still have it!), Estes Rockets made the AstroCam Rocket that housed a plastic camera <<that one assembled like a model car>> that used 110 film camera and took one shot at it's peak. Can't even find any 110 film anymore...
Good Times!!
