I was able to mark something off of my Bucket List today!  Although, I would like to take this hobby a bit farther, I was able to complete my very first model of a space shuttle!

When I was a kid, my brother and the little boys in my neighborhood always got to build cool model cars/trucks/boats/airplanes.  They started with plastic snap together models, moved up to glue models, then they could paint the models, etc.  I was always very jealous. It wasn’t a very girly thing to do.  I like building things, even if I had no interest in cars or trucks, I just like the idea of putting something together myself.

Well, now you can’t find model cars anywhere.  They don’t sell them at Wal Mart of Toys R Us.  You can only find them at hobby shops or online ($$$$), so i’ve been putting this one off for a while.

But then recently, I was gifted a model Space Shuttle <3.  It is a plastic snap together one, but perfect One of the best gifts I have ever received

Here it is!

This isn’t a complicated model, there were only a few pieces to snap together, however it still filled that void I was feeling from not having ever done one

The tail end of the shuttle was the hardest part, there were a few little pieces to get on there.

Tada!!!!

Now I still needed to put the stickers on the shuttle, however the stickers were not peeling off the sheet easily.  In fact, they weren’t peeling at all.  So for now, it is stickerless until I figure out how to get the stickers off.

My shuttle And first model ever
