I thought we would build a Camaro that would be red with stripes and a red engine - a question of about 10 hours.
But then a friend somehow decided to take it in as much detail as possible.
But the problem for us Camaro owners is that they never stay the same for very long. Something is always being improved

Ha! I totally get it. In my younger days I built a lot of models. And even though I did not even come close to what you and your friend did in this video, I would spend many hours just detailing an engine block and then more hours painting and installing fishing line for plug wires, etc fun stuff.

Model building was a staple in my day. We used to “kitbash” and make the local stock cars out of standard kits. Roll bars were made from the plastic sprues and the like. Wrecked more than a few of my Mother’s butter knifes, heating them on the stove to cut away body parts.

We used to spray lighter fluid over them and then light them on fire and push them over an embankment. That or use firecrackers on them.

How about Estes rocket engines? They didn’t stay on the ground very long.
That was at the end of our modeling careers.

Yeah.. I also remember how the boys tore up my mom's nylons to have thin material for the ropes for the World War I biplanes.


Moms must have really loved us

I can't say I'm not manually skilled.
But I miss the ideas these guys have.

But it's even more fun to watch them create.
