I built these two model kits around

71-19-07.4

 

The enterprise model had tiny light bulbs

and batteries inside it. 

I had luminous clay dots on the ceiling

of the cottage balcony, forming real constellations from a guide book.

I never completed the Klingon Model,

as I only worked on it from time to time

out at the cottage.

I painted it metallic blue.

Car Model magazine had many inspiring

articles about hot-rod models, including

using a "hot-knife" ( like a heat-controlled

X-acto soldering iron) and the Dremel Moto-tool.

Testors made model paint and glue,

the old stuff was thin toluene in a brush bottle,

then toluene with melted styrene in a

syrupy tube, messy, but better for gap filling.

 

Folks were concerned about solvent

vapors, so someone came out with

a glue called

made from orange oil.

 

Nowadays most builders use super-glue,

because it's cheap and available.

 

A fascinating form of model building

is

which cuts and modifies

parts of two or more models, and builds

something unique with it... 

 

Did you know that you can mix

super-glue with baking soda

to form solid parts and repairs ?
