Do you play with your models

The most I do is set up a couple fans in front of a model with free wheeling props and watch those suckers pinwheel! It's pretty fun, especially with my current project (see sig.). It's got eight of them!

Holding on to your childhood is a good thing. And so is keeping a healthy level of insanity.

I'm not a sound effects kinda guy - but I do fiddle with them - positioning them differently on the shelf , picking them up and looking at them from different angles, alternately displaying the Corsair with Folded or extended wings. (I just folded them anhour or so ago) This is done quite often during the build process too.

And for the ceiling hangers I have a rig where I can actually determine the position of the plane in all three axes. It's pretty neat - and it satisfies my desire to change the way they are displayed just about every time I enter the room.

i play with the uncompleted models, but the completed models are too fragile. i use full sound effects, and i sometimes have epic battles with 2 models. i once glued a piece of sprue to a micro machine F-4 and a Mig-15. boy the dogfights i had........ unfortunately i lost them somehow and i never got down to making another pair of dogfighters

I don't consider my model planes as toys so I don't play with them....but I do make a lot of imaginary flying and combat in between modeling
