Terry Jessee Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Our local paper did a story about model building this week. Think you might get a charge out of it. http://billingsgazette.com/news/local/model-kits-grow-up-with-builders/article_a44e84a6-8bf1-5e88-b1aa-9edfda6e8a2e.html Don't forget to check out the video, too.

Gluhead Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Great article and vid, Terry! Thanks for passing it along. I want some of those stink packets, too...although some would likely say I'm pretty good at making my own stink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skip Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) I remember seeing your truck in that "other" model magazine and being blown away, it was so much better than what my friends or myself were building at the time. The stink bomb was a good twist on your story. Years ago we used to get a sulfer pumace stone at work that when crushed and scrubbed around under foot let off a horrible sulfer odor it soon became known as "fart rock", more than one devious person disrupted a crew meeting with it. The results were always the same, sideways glances to see who let loose the horrible silent but deadly smell! To this day I can't remember the ligitimate use for the stuff was, I think there was one.

Terry Jessee Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Great article and some great looking builds. how did you get the news to interview you on the hobby? Well, what we did originally was to send in a press release to the local paper on our fall contest with some photos and accompanying information. Apparently, one of their editors was intrigued, so he assigned this reporter to do a story for the Sunday magazine section. And I agree with you guys--it turned out to be very cool. The reporter asked tons of questions as she tried to understand it. We were really kind of stunned by the story, and the quality of it.
