Two weeks ago I put together a 500 piece Harley . This week I have put together a die cast 29 Hot Rod and now I am working on a 1959 Corvette. This is stuff I have had for over 40 years, I also have a 67 Corvette kit that cost me back then $25, now if you can find it $200. I put together models until I was about 18,. A few of them I spent as much as a year on them. My sons got into them, thought they were toys and I trashed all of them rather watch them destroy.
Spare Time Projects

I received a plastic Nascar model of the STP Richard Petty #43 for Christmas when i was in grade school. The box said 8 to 14 years. I was so happy that I completed the build in less than 2 years.

I like building and coming up with ideas of new ways to build,, Been working on 0 gauge train layout
that is all aluminum foil/ foam for lite weight and could be moved without any issue...
It is painted with heavy latex and I puree saw dust and thrown into paint to give texture..
Now just starting to build a wooden slot car track that will be road rally in crawl space of basement 20X 8 '..
so picture of train layout built and picture of a slot car track for image I would like it to look like somewhat.
