Ace-Garageguy Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 (edited) To still have the poor eye-hand coordination, nonexistent knowledge base, lack of common-sense, and general skills I had when I was 5 years old, but as an adult. EDIT: The real sadistic kicker would to be able to remember having had superior skills, but to not be able to get the hands to function with any kind of fine control.

bobss396 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 There will be nothing but the Revell Unbuildables. The '56 Ford truck, the OG '31 Woody, '56 Chevy and so on. These kits were a struggle in my younger years. If I broke something... I was up a creek. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
