I am disappointed in this. I looked for some model cars to put together over the winter a week ago while I was in Wal-Mart. I knew that they don't carry them any more, but I still had to look. I guess kids don't build model cars any more? I used to like to build them about 30 years ago when I was broke and wanted something to do for a couple of hours in the evenings. Yes model cars cost money, but not that much and I could stay busy for a week or more depending on how creative I wanted to get with details and paints. I got to where I used spray paints for the bodies of the cars. There used to be model spray paint in Wal-Mart that came in colors that you sure couldn't buy in regular spray paint. I even found out how to make my own metallic colors on the models. I included a picture of the one that I discovered my method on. It's not great, but it's the best that I could do. Of course after 30+ years and several moves, it's falling apart. Maybe I need to find a hobby shop/toy store to rekindle the old interest.
I used to build model cars, stopped at about age 13. Not too long ago…
I think those are in boxes somewhere, been several years now of course… but I always would have my mom order online, and then pay her back. Christmas or birthday presents when I was a kid were usually either model cars or Legos… my family doesn’t do toys as presents after age 14, but I think I might also have some unbuilt ones, somewhere…
It’s amazing how different kids lives seem… I don’t recall using a computer for school, until high school… keep in mind I was homeschooled, and my younger siblings, have been using computers since like the 3rd or 4th grade! Glad that isn’t
me, I can’t get along with computers all that well. Took me long enough to figure out the basics of my phone… and there’s almost always something that I didn’t know it could do that somebody shows me, when I do it the hard way. Except autocorrect. To hell with that damned thing. If spelling is a little off is better than entire phrase being wrong. I want it to be MY fault dammit…
