Yes, the smell! The fuel-proof dope that the R/C modelers used. The nitro fuels. The oily-electric smell of the trains. The Pactra and Testors paint and glues. The balsa wood. Very heady stuff.
I built all manner of plastic models - Revell, Pactra, AMT. I also kept a miniature balsa wood lumber yard in my closet. Spur-of-the-moment I'd build a fort, a covered bridge, a cabin, a livestock body for a model truck I was working on - whatever I could build with what I had on hand. In Minnesota we have
lots of time indoors in the winter. It paid to keep materials on hand to accomodate our creative urges.
