When I was a wee kid back in the 70s, I used my Lincoln Logs to build a power generation station with my Tonka heavy construction vehicles and some small electric motors I pulled out of broken toys so that my Micronauts could have enough power to defeat the Shogun Warriors that were going to attack. The Shogun Warriors had their own base made from Erector Set parts and shoe boxes. The battle was epic as the tiny Micronauts were able to defeat the mighty Shoguns with their advanced laser canon (one of those old disposable flashlights they used to sell at Kroger). I replayed that battle over several days too. That's the kind of fun that is priceless. Kids today would find it boring unless they watched someone else do this on (((YouTube))) and sprinkled generously with Italian Brain Rot memes. Fuck the jews for ruining playtime for kids.

1. Balsa Wood Airplane

These lightweight wooden planes soared through backyards and parks, captivating kids with their simple promise of flight. Easy to assemble and endlessly entertaining, they inspired dreams of soaring through the skies.

Easy to assemble

The author doesn't know shit from Shinola here. These were far from easy. In fact these were some of this most difficult models of any kind to properly assemble. The fact their photo doesn't show completed models with the doped tissue paper covering the frames tells you all you need to know. Back in the day, I was the only kid in my grade that built these. I even built Guillow's Fokker DR-1 triplane. With help from my father, we made all the control surfaces moveable by inserting thin aluminum strips in their edges after separating the flap areas from the main parts of the wings and airframe. Not an easy task at any age, and I think I was 10 at the time. It was a labor of love.

The Spirograph was some cool shit too!

Fuck everything here. We didn’t have nigger potato’s.
