    Amazing model planes

    "When I first started work on building just the tail of the Corsair, my first attempts were disheartening. It was difficult trying to hold two pieces at different angles and expecting them to stay in place. I used “rivets” by drilling holes, inserting pieces of wire and squeezing them together. It became so flimsy that I wanted to stop. I knew if I did, I would never go back to it, so I continued and slowly the tail became more stable as pieces were added. It took over a month, but the tail looked good for a first project."

    I almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day.
    It was gettin' kinda long, I could've said it was in my way.
    But I didn't and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly

    I was big into plastic models as a child! I had many of them hanging from my bedroom ceiling by thread! Obviously nothing this complicated! But I know I found it very relaxing!
