red tube testor's

ahh the good old days...got any balsa wood airplane dope?

Its a wonder us old dinosaurs can still do this hobby with all the fumes we took in (not to mention rolling down the car window to smell the ethyl fumes when dad filled up the gas tank) what you youngsters missed !

Someone lied once and told me model glue causes impotence. Bullshit (My wife is due in December) :-=DE

i suspect we are much closer in age than you think. harry s was the prez on my natal day. yours?

congrats. give him a kit when he's out. can't start too young!

...as if red tube wasn't enough, when I was working at Fermilab I used to bathe in pure liquid toluene up to my elbows while cleaning raw aluminum stock...we had a trough and used buckets of the stuff...that was in the late 70's...

...lessee...gasoline, sulfuric acid, asbestos, toluene, lacquer thinner, butyrate dope, high voltage, ionizing radiation, laser energy, liquid nitrogen, pointed sticks...yeah...dem was da daze...

when i worked as a courier. we had mit labs for customers. i shudder to think what i carried. i know on many occasions we had 5 GALLON cubes of various cryocyana stuff. 5 gallons of sooper glue! we also did organs from logan to the hospital. ever had a package crack and had an eye roll on the seat. "they said to just carefully put it back in the box, ok?" i bought a set of chopsticks.

Thanks. I already have plenty of spare kits and even bought him some books about planes :)

Gross...glad I hadn't eaten lunch yet. Reminds me of 8th grade science class. Teacher brought in a cows eyes to dissect. A couple of the kids crowded around real close. As soon as he poked a scalpel in it, purple gunk squirted all over them...I was glad I stayed in the back of the class lol So...did you keep those chopsticks? ;)

i may have a couple of kid's airplane books. want me to look?

...I used to dissect prepared specimens for show and tell during my grade school days...ma wanted a surgeon...

...and I can't recall exactly when or how I learned to use chopsticks, now that you mention it...

i might have. i collect the variety's resturants use. i have 22 different. i have a few fun, silly collections. the hospital said i did good and didn't hurt the eye. who made the eyeball kit? lindberg?

That's ok thanks, the wife is complaining about how many I already got lol We live near a really great used book store. The place is HUGE.

I think it was them. At least you have real world experience to know how accurate it is! ;)

do they have much scifi? there's stuff i want i can't find.

they're great for picking up tiny pieces. and holding them while painting. makes it easy to move the peice around to get all of it.

now i have to find one. i think they were on the reissue list. has anyone besides me bought any lindberg reissues? they are doing a good variety, so any collector should be able to find something.

so i'm older by a few. as long as you build, who cares?
