My grandson's daddy was helping his grandma move and he found a box of Batman models from the mid 90's and gave them to Dean. One, a cheap model of the Batplane was in pieces, and knowing Pawpaw has some modeling experience asked me if I could fix it.

I had to use an exacto knife and Dremel to remove the old glue which took awhile and put it all back together using Gorilla glue. Results..one happy 11 year old with some treasures from his daddy's youth.

Wonderful job! You're a great Pawpaw, and a credit to all of us Grampa's and Great Granddad's!

...all I know is that one of my friend's ex-wives came from a place called Paw-Paw Michigan.  😮 😮     This "Batman thing"  looks good, nice job!  😎 😎
