wolfdogstinkus 1876 Posted May 19, 2022 My boys have had lunchboxes since they were 4 years old, now my eldest is 10, it's time he built his own. I was going to send it in the post step by step, one a week, like those "buy one magazine for 99p, and then every other magazine is £25 forever", but without the huge pricetag and the worry that you miss an issue and lose a vital part.... Then, I thought I could make it a bit more personal/ special and also educational and fun?? So, here I present the *world's best build manual,. *Until someone else does one..lol I got a few more pages to do, I've fitted the electronics, and the motor mount, but I'm going to let him build the rest. And, this was just so Daddy could kind of be there when he does build it.. What do you think??? Bonkers!!!, Yes I knew that already... Lol More to come soon.. Feel free to add some more ideas..... 24 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Room335 738 Posted May 19, 2022 Great stuff @wolfdogstinkus. As a father to a 12 & 9 year old myself, this really hits home. I love that you made it educational, but still kept it interesting with those great sketches. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please tell me thats a real thing??? mesh spacing needs to be big enough to allow ginger particles from ginger biscuits to infuse with milky tea. this is literally the only time I ever drink tea, milky or otherwise. 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nikko85 3366 Posted May 20, 2022 This is awesome! As you may know I'm planning to run some sessions with local families buidling cars, probably Mardave / Kamtecs for ultra ease. I was planning to make a manual (as tbf, the official ones are terrible) but looking at this I could make it like a cartoon and much more personal, very inspiring, thank you! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfdogstinkus 1876 Posted May 20, 2022 Get your first issue free, then every other issue is £19 for the first 3 months, £25 for the next 6 months, then it changes to one payment of your left kidney and you still won't have a complete model,....... Oh no, wait!!!!, That's not true!!!! It's both kidneys.. 5 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're going to need more underpants!!! If bad things happen to your underpants when you forget a pin in a lunchbox gearbox,, surely your underpants would be destroyed if you forgot a pin in a big rig???? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tim.senecal 487 Posted May 21, 2022 I guess crumbs in your tea must be a british problem... where i live i purposefully dunk my cookies in milk to get them nice and mooshie, and if there are any crumbs, it only makes the milk better. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
