Being a "grandfather" is just great....
Being a "grandfather" is just great....my 7 year old grandson & I have been doing SECRET MEN'S BUSINESS in the shed over the past fortnight...
Rielly was playing with a dragster shaped wooden block car I'd made for KindyGym when asked if he and pa could make one for him...
YES of course was my answer and off to the shed we went....
We managed to cut the rough shape and decide upon the extras & additions that first day...
Meantime pa got all the bits sorts....
Yesterday he checked that pa had done all the prep work satisfactorily then he glued and assembled the dragster....
I have to prime paint it during the week ready for his next visit to start the paint work....
What a top Father's Day gift for me... Cheers, crowie...
PS - I have a poster in the shed of Terry Sainty's TopFuel Dragster lighting up the back wheels as he launches down the 1/4 mile....

That's a cool little model Crowie. Not sure who enjoyed the making of it the most.
Spent many a day or night going to the drags in my earlier days - great fun.Dallas

Looks really great.
Can you give some dimensions?
I would like to copy it if you don't mind.

I noticed the Hegner Mk4 in the background of a couple of your photos. Do you use it for some of your toy making? After seeing it, I looked them up on the net and they look like quite a nicely made machine, especially for small stuff.
