Who built models as a kid?
Showing my age here (45), but I was a kid in the 1970's. I was a model building fool. Sadly, I don't have any of them remaining. Many of them eventually became target drones for M-80's or cherry bombs. Built a lot of 1/25 or 1/24 scale cars, and quite a few naval ships and WWII planes. Wish at least a few had survived.

Hey Ranger I used to build quite a few of them also cars ,planes, helocopters,and tanks they would take some time a few weeks to build and paint then I would take them out and destroy them with my wristrocket, or pellet gun

I'm 50, and my older brother and I build all kinds of battleships & destroyers and subs, and planes. WWII stuff. We lived in a place that had a lot of fill-dirt land and one day after a mighty rainstorm, we floated evey one of them on a giant puddle. They were all loaded with 1-1/2 inchers and cherry bombs, and we poured a bunch of gasolene in the water, and set it off all while bombarding them with dirt clods.
We were kids. mind you, some of these ships had full decals and all the show flags and everything. All destroyed in one glorious afternoon.
All my beutiful Estes rockets are all gone too, except the space shuttle.
