My sister had an idea

Post by BlackSheep214 »

Yesterday, we were texting each other and a brilliant idea of her came to mind. She mentioned if I remember how we used to do our models on the front porch at home (mostly during the summer months)and over to grandma and grandpa's house. I do fondly remember those glorious days of our youth.

She said next time when it's safe for her to visot me & travel to N.Y. (she is an elementary teacher in Maryland), she suggested we both work on models together for old times sake. I immediately said Hell yeah!!!!!

Now... to find a car kit for her to work on plus some glue, basic tools to make it complete.
Looks like ill be scouring eBay for kits she used to do. :lashed:

Sibling model building... not something that I ever shared, but every Christmas morning years ago I spent time building with my kids the models they had received as gifts.

Who knows. Maybe if she rekindled the flames of model kit building, I'll direct her here. :whistle:

She always liked the old Monogram kits when we're kids. I'll find something. :lashed:

Wow that is awesome! You were one lucky guy having a sister that built models with you! You gotta get pics taken so we can all enjoy this!

That sounds really neat. Does your beloved governor still have a 2 week quarantine when you enter the kingdom of New York?
