Mark,
Thanks, BTW, Lynns Mom was a redhead (but she wasn't that hot!) and Kamaka looks a lot like my dad, his Uncle, so you don't need to call the cops.
Bob,
Thanks. When I lived in Ill our family had this ritual, New clothes for school and church 1x a year unless someone was foolish enough to buy you clothing for xmas, and the rest were what we called hand-me-downs. I usually got clothing from my older cousin Jerry because even though he was a good 3 years my senior, he only had 1 year on me in height, but our feet were the same size. I have/had big feet/firm foundations so I never inhereted hand me down shoes. But thats ok on the shoe side, I barely needed more than a pair a year since I refused to wear them unless I was at school, in church, or it was the dead of winter (it snowed a lot in Peoria). This partly because I loved walking around barefooted, and partly because the shoes I got were always a size larger than I needed sos I could "grow in to them". I spent my entire childhood barefoot when ever possible and wearing shoes larger than my feet because I couldn't get a pair of hand-me-down shoes that fit.
Lynn was a year younger than I was, shorter (thats why the paint legs are rolled up) but stouter. His feet surprisingly enough were only 2 years behind mine in growth so he was the fortunate heir to my redball jets, which were almost in priestene condition since I never wore them unless forced and couldn't wear them in the winter and one size too big for him once he got them.
Tom,
I haven't worked in 1:29th scale yet. Sounds very small, so I might be tempted to skip some of the details too.
