Much to the consternation of my wife, I have been hoarding a collection of plastic and balsa models. Last weekend, I showed my grandson some simple powered plastic boat models I bought in Korea some 20 years ago. He is interested, even though it isn't Lego. I am happy. I hope by using simple ones first, I can get him to enjoy building and using/displaying models.

Hey, don't knock LEGOs They can be used for model building, if you have enough parts!


Thanks Mark! I used to be fascinated by those type of shows!

Me too, Gran . I spent hundreds of pounds on Airfix kits and model railway kit when I was in my teens.

Went to Legoland last year. The stuff they have built from Legos is awesome.
