scrap wood to sr76


So with all of the contractor's left over scrap wood, we've (Aiden mostly) been building various things...today we built a SR71...make that SR76 (Aiden's version). Sky was our "perfect piece of wood finder" and "Aiden was the nail finder"...he scored big when he crawled under the new deck and found a pile of unused nails. We laid the pieces out and thought about we we could build given our limited resources. Aiden came up with the idea of the fighter jet. From there, we built the jet together. Aiden wanted it painted black because the SR71 at the museum is black. Sky came up with the idea of putting some stickers on it to make it prettier. She also wanted to paint it gold and black but she was vetoed on that one by Aiden.


Aiden wanted his jet to have proportionate wheels so he asked if we could take the trucks and wheels off of his skateboard but we didn't go for that...he settled for tying the jet to his board using a black bungee cord.


Voila! Scrap wood to SR76!
