Displaying our models

Making models was something we did as boys and girls back in the day from popular plastic kits, carefully following the instructions joining a group of parts together at a time using plastic cement.

The other sort were made from lightweight balsa wood fitted by grooved slots or plastic couplers.

It was unusual for girls to join in and as fur us gurls, well forget it but at least in today's more enlightened times the rest of us would be bought and encouraged to join in, learning new skills and STEM knowledge.

We then would apply the decals on sheet cutting of the one we needed one by one so all the markings were neatly done before showing to our friends, teachers and other adults we knew.

I loved this part of childhood heaps.
