Model Forum / General / Models / July 2007Watch Those Models!
Fireworks+ models used to = fun. > Fireworks+ models used to = fun. Lol...I've lost many planes that way!!! Mike -- Advice when most needed is least heeded. >> Fireworks+ models used to = fun. > > Lol...I've lost many planes that way!!! LOL yup me too! I remember sticking a 'banger' up the back of a 1/72 Mirage and watching it blow into a hundred tiny pieces! As a kid in the UK I was in the ATC (RAF Cadet Force) and really into getting my marksmanship badges. So much so that I had a .22 air rifle and built a 25yd range in our back garden. I soon grew tired of shooting at paper targets and decided that as I had 30+ model aircraft hanging off the bedroom ceiling I could sacrifice a few to the cause! ;-) I suspended them from fishing line in front of a dry stone wall at the bottom of the garden (over the top of the sand trap I had built to catch the pellets when shooting at the targets). I was shooting from the prone position and still bear the scar above my left cheek bone and just below the eye where a ricochet came directly back at me! Happy days!

Happy days! Remember Ralphy's Mother "You will shoot your eye out" lol Dan > Remember Ralphy's Mother "You will shoot your eye out" > And that can happen too. I fired my BB pistol at a glass fuze from around six feet away, and the BB ricocheted back and blew the entire back off of my upper left front incisor when it hit the front of the tooth.

Wow, putting on the wayback hat. I blew hell out of a USS Lexington carrier by Revell. Used a combination of firecrackers, gunpowder (taken from other crackers) and glue. Floated it in a big mud puddle. Note to the responders to this thread. I'll bet lunch there will not be any ladies that every blew up a model. No matter how many times I've talked with people about doing this, women always look at me in complete and total disbelief. Guys always say, 'yeah, I did that too'. teehehe, rono > Note to the responders to this thread.

I still have a scar between my thumb and index finger where a drop of hot (and burning) plastic landed while an afire and battle-damaged Aurora XF-90 was meeting its fate. Needless to say, the machine gun noises stopped rather suddenly. Wish I'd keep the XF-90 - a truly neat looking model - though if I recall correctly, mine had a rather garish red-painted tail and nose cone.
