Terry Jessee Posted November 27, 2012 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 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.
Lunajammer Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Summarizes things pretty well. You make a good ambassador to the hobby.
charlie8575 Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Olfactory Airs- one of the best modeling stories I've ever heard! Nice article and great feature story. Charlie Larkin
Dragline Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Do they make one that smells like nitro burning? Great vid Terry. Bob
Guest Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Cool article, but I dont see any video other than a ad, and nothing about stink packets.
Foxer Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 I congratulate the reporter on a good, accurate piece for once!
Ben Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Now that's my kind of news story! Very funny what you did with the stink packet!
Dr. Cranky Posted November 28, 2012 Posted November 28, 2012 Great treat, Terry. Nice video and feature.
Skip Posted November 28, 2012 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.

skysoldier46 Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 good story Terry and I do think a lot of baby boomers especially are going back to what they did as kids. I know I have. Big Sky Country huh? I lived in Cowley Wyoming once and am thinking of moving to Red Lodge MT. Keep on building Terry.
Daddyfink Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Very cool! Thanks for being a good Ambassador for our hobby!
rmvw guy Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Great story, enjoyed the video, it's a homerun!!! Two thumbs up!!
Terry Jessee Posted November 30, 2012 Author 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. Terry
