I absolutely loved building models as a kid and young adult. Can't say I was ever great at it. Still don't find myself patient and precise enough to do a great job. Some people are just amazing at it.

I remember as a 10-12 year old we'd have the neighborhood model "trading rally" remember all those extra parts they would include with the kits back then. Various tires, wheels, spoilers, blowers and such depending on which "version" the model you wanted to build? We'd gather up all our spares, and the remains of destroyed models and trade components with the other kids so we could build our monstrosities of smeared paint and globs of glue that comprised our "Custom built" models.

Good times.
