NOVEMBER 2024 LIST  

MODEL KIT BUILDING IS A LONELY OCCUPATION-SO IS BEING SCARED BY BIG AUDITORIUMS!!

This memory predates last month’s modeling by the colors story, going back to the summer between second and third grade. This was a rather boring summer, highlighted by the first (but not the last) time I was in summer school. The teacher, whose name rhymes with uncle, failed me in just about every subject, leading to the possibility of me failing second grade.

Up until then, all my classes had been on the first floor of Ben Franklin school. This school was so old, and I’m so old, it had separate boy’s and girl’s entrances until the early 70’s. For some reason, summer school was held on the second floor. This made me nervous simply because I didn’t know what was on the second floor; the Bates motel of Tonawanda, a hot dog stand, torture chamber, or some combination of the above.

Actually, the second floor was like the first, except no cafeteria or gym. Classrooms, seats, chalk boards and even windows. Monotony? A boatload. I did my best to bear down, but that became quite tiresome. I found out one way to take a break was asking to use the restroom. I wasn’t the first or the last to ask. I began asking for potty breaks an average of once a week. On my “stretch your legs” leisure time, I walked up and down the hall slowly before returning to class. That took up about five minutes of time.

I knew the school had a third floor, but up until then I’d shown little interest. But, having seen nothing of interest on floor two, my youthful imagination told me there had to be something on the top floor. I began to concoct a plan to solve the mystery, so I could get the summer over with, get the hell out of summer school and on to the rest of my life. My thinking was, if I could get five minutes of spare time, I could figure the whole thing out.

Back to the great bathroom escape. The following week I once again made it out of class and to the staircase, which led, gulp, to the gallows (or upstairs, maybe). I was sweating and breathing hard going up the stairs. What would happen next?

As it turned out, floor three looked much like floor two, except, instead of one closed class room after the next, it appeared several doors were opened. Something different. I walked over to one opening, which led forward to…the balcony for the school auditorium. Yikes! Apparently, I walked too fast to the balcony, accidentally fell over the guard rail and onto the seats below, fracturing my skull, severing my spinal cord, and dying of catastrophic injury.

Actually, none of that happened. What did, though, was the shock of seeing the auditorium below. I’d only been in the auditorium once, for a speech given by famous ball player Jackie Robinson. I don’t recall the speech, but I was thrilled to see him in person. Now, being in the balcony, I was so overwhelmed by the spatial dimensions around me, I could not stay. I ran out of the balcony area, flew down the stairs and back to class. Now, I really needed to pee.

I buried this memory until my 40’s, trying to put two plus two together and decipher fact from fantasy. It took years to figure out what did and didn’t happen. Fact one: I did pass summer school and made it into Mrs. Anderson’s third grade class, then discovered that turquoise was my favorite color. Fact two: I never went into the aud again, except from the ground floor. Further, I never even had the grapes to look up at the balcony.

Guys, model kit building is a mostly solitary hobby, like letting your imagination take ahold of your mind, leaving it to flap around in the breeze. I began building alone at age 11, and with a few notable exceptions, I’ve built most of the past 55 plus years solo, which is fine with me.  I’ve spent a lot of my life alone, with the exception being 40 plus years with my wonderful wife. We’ve watched a lot of tv, read books, spent time with our sons and talking to folks on the phone.

I built my first two kits with no outside help. Gosh knows, I needed it. The MPC Mack DM 800 with gravel trailer was a mammoth kit. Even for the experienced builder it was a challenge. But to a green 11-year-old taking this thing on was like David versus Goliath. The instructions were more like a book. Several times I wanted to just put the kit down and say uncle. Somehow, I kept going, taking on the challenge just for a chance at success.

After two plus weeks of working on it every day after school, the kit was done. That’s how I started my modeling career, which is now going on 50 years. If I had quit, which would have been easy to do, there likely would have been no great hobby in my life, no Fred’s Model World, no model kit collection. Just one big NO.

I’ve built hundreds of kits since the Mack, mostly alone. The exceptions would be kits I built in the 70’s next to my friend, Jim; kits built with my sons years ago, and getting lots of input from my wife saying “that looks nice,” or occasionally saying something somewhat less complimentary.

I found getting guys my age to admit they were kit builders was difficult. Modeling building was only “cool” to a small number of the teens, even 50 years ago. Jim was the only guy I knew in my neighborhood who built kits and, like most guys our age he was a jock. I wasn’t a jock, but liked to play sports anyway. Jim’s dad was a parts manager at mostly Plymouth dealers in the 70’s. Hence, Jim was a car nut too. He eventually became a parts manager as well.

In the mid 70’s, I came home with an MPC Cyclone kit. A great design, great box art, but when I opened the box I found you could only built the kit as a funny car! This is not what I wanted. Jim came over and watched me build the engine for the Merc., a decently detailed blown big block Ford. When that was done, I really didn’t know what to do. The body, molded in red, was a one- piece job. I didn’t feel like cutting it up. Jim suggested raiding the parts box for a tub and chassis.

Good idea. I found a tub and chassis for a 69 Riviera that I’d built but was unhappy with. Sure enough, both fit under the Merc., leaving me with a nice curbside kit. I added pace car decals from a 72 Cougar and ended up with a nice piece. Sadly, I lost parts for the Merc in the late 70’s, and sold it when I lost my job in the 90’s. As for Jim, I haven’t seen him since 1999, right after I started my business.

With my sons, I relished every kit I built with them from 1995 to about 2005. Matt and I did an Honest John Missile for school, along with several Batman vehicles and tv and show cars. Ben, three years younger than Matt, built the same kinds of cars. Remarkably, whatever kits they didn’t like were saved and accumulated into mini model collections.

They have kits next to mine in the basement, on shelves in the basement, and even in dresser drawers I’d forgotten about. It looks like each guy has about 25 kits each, and no, they are not for sale.

When we weren’t building, we went to toy shows to look for more. Each son also has an impressive collection of die cast cars hanging around, mostly Hot Wheels and some Matchbox. Everything is saved and preserved for the long run. Sorry, Uncle Dave, your bb gun didn’t get to any of the boy’s stuff.

My wife hasn’t built any kits, but she’s generous with praise when I do build stuff, and has been since I came back to the hobby in the late 80’s. She’s also sympathetic when I screw up and even suggests ways to make a better finished kit. Who named Fred’s Model World? It wasn’t me. Yep, the wife did that one too. I wanted to be called Roll Models, but there was an existing business selling plane kits that was in existence in 1999.

Over the years, I’ve been in a few model organizations, but only as a member. I never attended any IPMS meetings, but did set up at a few of their annual shows. I know several local members, but usually only see them when they visit Fred’s. I used to belong to the national IPMS, but mostly to run ads in their magazine. When the magazine folded, I dropped out.

I do support any of my customers who belong to clubs and spend a lot of time building and socializing. This is part of the reason the hobby is still around. Please keep up the good work, and pick up the phone if you need something from me.

Ben Franklin school is still around. I pass by it occasionally, taking the same route I used to walk from my house on Kettering to get there. I’m sure the auditorium is still there. Dead sure. I’m wondering if my spirit is also there, trying to find its way back to class.
