Things you miss from your childhood.

Did anyone have an "Erector set"?

There was one at grandma and grandpa's house but I preferred the set of Lincoln Logs.

I had Lincoln Logs too, but I prefered the Erector set more. But then again, my entire childhood I went from one thing to another. Even at one piont I was into bulding model war planes, and my favorites were the F-14 Tomcat, and WW2 Pacific Corsair. The toy stores held tons of models you could buy and glue and paint. 

All of that got replaced by age. As an adult I became more concerned with stupid things like bills and eating.

Pretty blue paint. The corsair.

Lack of responsibility. Now I have to do things myself and I can't really expect someone else to do it for me. It's a blessing and a curse.

Pretty blue paint.   The corsair.

Back in my very breif model war plane obsession, I once bought scale modle F-14 Tomcat.  I loved them because of the retractable wings. Much like a bird folding it's wings or extending them out. ANYWHO, so after going to Toys R Us, and buying a scale modle of an F-14, I spent days and weeks snaping the parts together, and bought paint only to be told by others, that the F-14 never would have been painted camoflauge.
