hjlittman | 28-Jul-15 13:26 | Friday, I finished the nose and did most of the general sanding and cleanup for covering. Once I got the components completed it was easy to assemble it, temporarily, with three Scuncii clips so that people could see what it looked like assembled. (I have aluminum tube pins in the wing roots to locate the wings.) The remarks from passers who did not stop to talk were interesting. The little kids said, "I want to do that!" The teenagers said, "Wow! People actually BUILD those things." The adults said. "Wow! People STILL build those things. And, the senior citizens said, "I admire your work." All in all, it was fun. Out grandson had fun with us. His parents got some time to themselves. We enjoyed our grandson even if it does remind us of why we are to old to have kids, and I got this years entry started along with some free advertising. Not a bad week! |

LASTWOODSMAN | 08-Dec-16 11:24 | That's a good story HJ. Sometimes when I walk my dog in Jackson Park, I bring a model along with me - a real conversation starter - everyone likes to "Hangar Talk". And I do try to get the kids interested in building a model too - they have never built one.... |
