How to videos featuring arts & crafts and models for kids and adults. My arts and crafts projects are made using inexpensive materials like scrap cardboard and styrofoam from leftover food trays and plates for the gliders. Sculpey polymer clay and waterbased craft paints I use for my sculpting projects. I also use Tulip puffy paint for raised details such as rivets. Aleene's original Tacky Glue is my glue of choice since it's thicker, strong and flexible for the gliders I build. Occasionally I use 5 minute epoxy for my sculpture work. I also include videos of models and toys from my childhood and a few I've acquired over the years. My three cats, Peanuts, Pumpkin, Fluffy and I thank you for watching and please like and subscribe if you enjoy the videos. Thanks and have a great day! Stu
Stir Stick X-29 Mini Glider
Here's another mini glider I made loosely based on the Grumman X-29 experimental jet, two of which were built for NASA back in 1984. I used a stir stick, a couple styrofoam plates, scrap cardboard and assembled with white glue. The glider has a wingspan of just under 8 inches and flies okay indoors but is tricky to get adjusted. Not a really good stable flier but fun, would probably fly better on a larger scale with a 10 inch or more wingspan. Thanks for watching and have a great day!! #creative #kidscraft #glider #simple

Stir Stick DH Vampire glider
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.Месяц назад
Here's a fun glider I built based on the De Havilland Vampire early jet fighter originally designed and built in 1943. I used two coffee stir sticks for the tail booms, thin styrofoam from plates for the wings and tail, cardboard for the main body/fuselage and assembled with white glue. Glider has a 14" wingspan and flies well indoors. Thanks for watching and have a great day!! #kidscraft #crea...
Tamiya 1983 Wild Willy 1 (not running at the moment....)
Просмотров 87Месяц назад
Here's a Tamiya Wild Willy 1 jeep I built back in 1983. The paint job is based on World War Two British desert camo to give it a "Desert Rat" look. Back in the 80's my Dad & I raced RC cars locally. We had 2 RC-10s, a Blackfoot, Subaru Brat, Hornet & a couple others. I wanted to race my Wild Willy so I made a crude battery holder mounted to the bottom to keep the center of gravity down and remo...
Simple Stirstick Flying Wing Glider (based on Jetco glider I built in early 70s)
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.2 месяца назад
This fun little glider is based on an all balsa hand launch glider I built as a kid back around 1973 made by the Jetco Co. (it was one of the Thermic Trio gliders). I remember it flew well so I decided to make my own little version using a coffee stirstick, thin styrofoam from plates and scrap cardboard. My Dad and I used to fly balsa hand launch gliders in the early 70s along with gas powered ...
J37 Viggen towel tube & foam glider
Просмотров 2453 месяца назад
Here's a fun jet glider I built loosely based on the Swedish Saab J37 "Viggen" fighter. "Viggen" translates to Thunderbolt in English, but also means "Tufted Duck" whichever you prefer! The glider has a 14" wingspan is big and a bit heavy so I'll end up flying it outdoors with a rubber band catapult eventually after I reinforce the front wings from flexing upwards. Thanks for watching and have ...
Stir Stick P-38 glider

Here's a fun little glider based on the P-38 Lightning fighter from World War Two. This has always been one of my favorite designs so I decided to make this glider by using two coffee stir sticks, scrap cardboard, thin styrofoam from plates and assembled with white glue. It has a 13" wingspan and flies well with a little adjustment. Thanks for watching and have a great day! #creative #kidscraft...
Basic TP Tube Glider
Просмотров 11 тыс.6 месяцев назад
Here's a simple, fun little glider I made using a toilet paper tube, thin styrofoam from plates and assembled with white glue. It has a 9 1/2" wingspan and flies good with a little added nose weight ( I used a couple tiny machine screw nuts I found in my tool box ). Styrofoam was used for the wing and tail and I cut a strip from the second TP tube for the back section of the body. I hope you en...
SG-38 Gleiter (Fun glider made with 2 skewer sticks, cardboard & styrofoam)
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Here's a fun little glider based on the SG-38 "Schulgleiter" primary training glider designed in 1938 in Germany. It has a 13" wingspan and was made using 2 skewer sticks, scrap cardboard, thin styrofoam from plates and assembled with white glue. I used acrylic craft paint for the pilot. It flies well but needs more nose weight so I'll be adding a bit more cardboard to the nose which will also ...
Paper Towel Tube F-4 jet glider (made with towel tubes, thin styrofoam & scrap cardboard)
Просмотров 5338 месяцев назад
Here's a fun glider based on an F-4 Phantom jet fighter I made using paper towel tubes, thin styrofoam from plates, scrap cardboard and assembled with white glue. It has a wingspan of about 15" and is a bit heavy for flying indoors, but will probably make a nice little rubber-band catapult glider for outdoors. I used acrylic craft paint to add a little color to the canopy and nose. I remember t...
TP Tube Jet Glider (made with toilet paper tubes, thin styrofoam & cardboard)

Here's a video of a Jet glider I built using 3 toilet paper tubes, thin styrofoam from plates, scrap cardboard and assembled with white glue. The Jet is loosely based on a Mig 15 fighter and has a 12" wingspan. It's a bit heavy for indoor flying but glides pretty good after I added a little weight in the tail (2 x10/24 bolt nuts) I used a small piece of blue painters tape to hold them in place ...
Toy Car Case From My Childhood (with 60s-70s Matchbox, Hot Wheels and a Johnny Lightning car)
Просмотров 1199 месяцев назад
This is a Mattel Collector Car case my parents purchased for me back around 1967 when I was five years old (the case is dated 1966 on the back). It has a variety of some of my cars from my childhood days, some are well played with others in near brand new condition. I put some tissue under the cars back in the 80s to keep them from getting knocked around. As a kid I had several Hot Wheels track...
Skewer Stick Glider (made with cardboard, thin styrofoam and a skewer stick)
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.10 месяцев назад
Here's a small glider I made using a bamboo skewer stick, scrap cardboard, thin styrofoam from plates and assembled with white glue. It has an 11 1/2" wingspan and the design is based on a Bowlus Baby Albatross glider from 1938 which I happened to see online. I used acrylic craft paints to add some color to the glider plus add needed weight to the nose for better balance. As always thanks for w...

AMT '49 Mercury junker (plus a couple old kits I've acquired over the years)
Просмотров 15111 месяцев назад
Here's an AMT '49 Mercury I purchased while in high school back in 1978-79 and I finally built the kit in 1993 as a junker and had a lot of fun weathering it. I also added working headlights and tail lights using tiny bulbs and battery holders purchased at Radio Shack back when they were still around. I used Sculpey polymer clay which I baked then sanded down into dust and added it to paint to ...
Three World War Two era solid wood models built by my Uncle Rob before he enlisted in the U.S. Navy
Просмотров 329Год назад
This video shows three World War Two era solid wood model planes my Uncle Rob built in the early 40s before enlisting in the U.S. Navy. My uncle gave these models to me back in 1974 since he knew I built a lot of model planes which I had a large collection of hanging from the ceiling in my bedroom. I also included an unbuilt P-61 Black Widow to show an example of what you had to work with to ge...
