Ummm they were more like 20 cents back then. Mind you that was probably way more than a dollar now.
My family was very poor and some years all I got for my birthday was 2 or 3 cars.

Ya, well... you definitely have a couple decades on me there. I still buy myself hotwheels cars now, on the days I pass by this hobby expo that's open most weekends [somewhat] near my house. They now range from 3 to $10 now!

I have none of mine - wish i had kept some. that's an awesome collection! I was born in England and spent the first 7 years of my life there. i grew up on matchbox cars, and if i was lucky i'd get the occasional dinky or corgi toy (of either captain scarlet or thunderbirds vehicles). i also had 'action man', which was the UK's version of GI Joe.

Even more surprising was that a handful of the 100s of model kits I built as a kid survived intact (most met the same fate as the B17 I mentioned in a previous post). This one I built when I was about 11. The two mangled antennas are stretched plastic sprue and although brittle survived almost 40 years in a box with other stuff piled on top of them.

this past week, one of our friends gave my son (who just turned 8) a present, and i was wondering why he apologized to me when he gave it to him wrapped. turned out to be a revell 1/48 corsair. he knew my son hadn't started building models yet, so he knew i'd have to take the lead on it. i hadn't built an airplane in about 25 years, and many of my paints were old, but i was able to 'wing it' and put it together. at first, i was just going to slap it together for my kid without painting it, but i decided to put a little bit of effort into it (which turned out to be about 10 hours). i'm definitely a bit rusty, and don't have an airbrush anymore (nor the right paints so i even used some of his kid acrylics and mixed them), so it wasn't up to my old standards (no putty, filling, sanding etc); but then revell isn't tamiya or hasegawa either ![]() The weathering is a quick and dirty dry brush job. my son was happy with how it turned out, so all's well that ends well. here are some pics of it.

Here is the old Revell P38 I did up for him. It was a gift for his Father who worked on them.

I was heavily into model rockets and planes, had the bb guns, but whenever someone asks what my favorite Christmas gift of my youth was, the first thing that springs to mind is Johnny Seven OMA (One Man Army)!
