Good looking Cat, I had more fun with my 16 than the 18.

Its fun to bring outdoor hobbies indoors. I bet the smell of methanol and castor oil in side the home smelled fantastic..for a few days.

When I was about 10 I lit off an Estes rocket inside my bedroom. First time and last. The rocket was secured to its launch pad mast with masking tape. The volume of smoke was epic for a few seconds.

Been off Pelican for awhile and everything else!!

This is a thread I can relate to...

I've been building and collecting Porsche models for many many years.
Ended up with over 1100 models all different scales. Hit the wall of what do we do with all of these at some point in life....no kids to leave stuff to so started selling them.
Still building though and mostly scratch built dioramas.

You're welcome!!! You really should enter those in some model shows if you haven't already been doing that, I'm sure they would win some contests for sure. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

I build them for clients and a lot of them sold in the "Gallery of Speed", an art gallery completely automotive related.

I can remember when Mongoose was a bigtime brand with ultra trick bmx bikes, not like the ones you get at Walmart now. Although, my son's first bike was a little Mongoose bike from Walmart and it was built really well. So...anyway, Mongoose used to be an exclusive brand back in the day.
