The wonder years project PART 1 History and plans
So first please forgive my waffle and moan, I'm worried I have gone to far, but I think its important to get the history and sad times down here as well the plans and dreams for the future. I really do need your help, not with your hands, but just liking and subscribing and commenting will make the impossible possible. Just knowing there are interested others out there will give me the will to get it finished.

Okehampton Castle FIVE METRE STREAM. Bumbling Bimbling Banford
มุมมอง 5วันที่ผ่านมา
There is the most lovely sound of a bubbling brook at the entrance of Okehampton castle, it comes up for just five metres just up from the entrance building then down again into a grill, ferns cover the stream. So today I took a closer look into its hidden sun dappled world.

The start of sorting (again) of the Wonder Years
มุมมอง 26714 วันที่ผ่านมา
The start of sorting out just what I have in the mad collection for the Wonder Years. This really effected me, I think you can see in the look on my face it got really dark in the end and I did not video all of that time, but stay to the end for a up date on what is going on.

    I've been watching you for 6 months or so, basically from your walk through Totnes video, as it was a place I had some great experiences. I can see what you're attempting to do. For a couple of years I've bought a couple dozen Airfix / Tamiya plastic model kits. I've only made a few of them - but it reminds me of happier more carefree days from childhood. Even browsing my local model shop, here in Brisbane AU, is a great experience. And sometimes I pick up a kit, that I have a 90% chance of never actually making. But It puts a warm smile on my face. Blokes in their late 50's / 60's are a big part of this resurgence in model making. We outnumber the kids browsing the shop. It's old farts like me who keep Airfix going, as we're reliving part of our childhood. No bad thing in this messed-up world... I feel sorry for kids today - they have been robbed of so much in their childhood that we all took for granted, and they don't even know it.

      Hi there, thanks for taking the time to share and watch my antics, I loved making airfix models, but always seemed to mess them up doing the paint job, but it didn't matter, to me they where perfect. I think that's where the truth of childhood lays, the joy of play, it's the imaginary world we enter, my mind made the perfect paint job, only as a child do we have the time to truly find that place. As a adult paying bills, been in traffic jams, working in jobs that can if you let them pigeon hole us, take us away from the most wonderful, magical thing called PLAY. The saddest thing is we were all lead to believe that the adult world is the magical land of freedom and choice, and in lots of ways it is, but it expects you to leave childhood, but it never was suppose to be 100%. I feel the adult world doesn't allow for play. It's great to see that in the last few years your grabbing back what is rightly yours, make, collect, but promise me one thing... when you do make a model, it only is complete when you rush it through the air, dive bombing making the rat-a-tat sound of manic machine fire! Again thanks for commenting, I cant put into words what a tonic and a lift to help me get off my ass and finish my dream it is!

      @@davidbanford8705 Today, kids don't use their imaginations like that. They are receivers of someone else's imagination via tablets or computer games. And now, much of what they are seeing is made by artificial intelligence tools, and not even people creating it from scratch. This will have terrible consequences for the rest of their lives, and they will achieve less. It's all in the words: Imagine Im-a-gine Im a Gi Ne I'm a Genie Imagine I-magi-ne I Magi/Magician Ne ('ne' - the legal name of a man, 'Man' from Latin "Men' - 'Mentis' - to think)

    Aww dave, wonder years was awesome, those horrible people are just shallow minded and don't have that fascination or childlike amazement anymore they lost that freedom of spirit, nostalgia isn't a childish state of mind. I loved working there, you were the best boss. And created something amazing for all ages. Don't let the world get you down dave. 😊

      Hi there, I'm very slowly reopening a little attraction in Cornwall, its to do with everything to do with childhood, toys, tv, music, you name it, sadly I'm a keeper not a seller, and only buy what I need, luckily I started collecting years ago when you could go to a carboot and get a bin liner of vintage star wars for a quid! its a very slow proses due to also running two shops. but I hope to get something up and running in the next few years, I want to make it a one of a kind so its taking a bit longer than hoped! I plan to put info and vlogs of the making of the attraction here on youtube, so watch this space :)

      You did what! 😄 you might need therapy, I cant quite explain why I put these vlogs on, 100s of the buggers, badly filmed, crap sound and boring 😃 But it's all leading to a, hopefully a small secret attraction in Cornwall UK, a place that only can be found if you know the secret, watch this bumbling mess is the first step! So a massive thank you for watching 😀th-cam.com/users/sgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f603.png
