Misspent youth
The Big Bertha thread got me thinking about fun stuff we did as kids. My best friend and I made a science of making realistic model car explosions and fires. It was quite a challenge to create a 1/25 scale explosion and fire. We experimented with kerosene, gasoline, lighter fluid, the power out of shotgun shells. As I recall a little gunpowder, kerosene, Kleenex, and crumbled up wax-based fire starters made a good combination. It looked pretty cool. We tried it on flying model airplanes too - see how long we could keep them in the air burning - but it was too expensive to keep up with. It's a hobby I may take up again.
Anybody else a Jr demolitions enthusiast?
