I don't remember much from there...inside (I was 8-9). Went on a Scouts trip...spent the night on the ship...had free reign all over the ship and sub. Believe it or not...I bought my first A-7 kit from the gift shop there...1st time I can remember even seeing an A-7, was on that Monogram box...hooked ever since!
I remember one of the small rooms on the ship had 2 model display cases...I sat in front of them for hours, in awe. I could not wrap my little 8-9 year old brain around how you could not see any seams, and they were in "real life" colors!

That had to be a treat, it certainly has created memories. I'd love to go back.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

I have a soft spot for Sukhoi jets, especially the Su-27 and her derivates. But I think I'm hooked to all Russian cold war stuff. Seen that new Su-9 Fishpot from Trumpeter? :wub:
And that's all a joke compared to my really psychotic love to the Butcherbird. Only 12 left in my stash. :bang:

I think the essential subjects would be peasants followed by serfs....oh wait, sorry, wrong type of subjects...

I think every possible example has been already cited. I agree with the P-51s, Me109s, etc...but I also think that there should be some staple "need to try" kits here and there, such as a figure besides the ones with your armor or aircraft kit. Or, if all you've ever built in is injection molding, maybe a resin kit. Or maybe some cheaper kits to try new techniques on.

Nope, you have to feed, clothe and house peasants and serfs. That costs more than paid employees. The best kind is a village that pays you for your protection.
You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
