Garage
Can't remember the first one I built. It was probably an AMT kit though. My brother and I would build them in our room on the desk Dad built for us to do our home work on. It would get so thick with the smell of glue that Mom would make us open the windows whenever we were using it. This was bothersome during the winter. I remember building a Corvette on the livingroom hide a bed sofa when I had to have my appendics taken out in 1963 and I was restricted to the bed for 2 weeks.
There was an older kid who lived nearby that was really into them. He'd paint them and use that special plastic bondo to shape them too. He made some really nice models.
My brother and I put together the 'Visible V-8'. Now that was a pretty cool model. This was all in the early '60's.
