The kit didn't come with a campfire. Send it back!

So, how long before you son gets to play with it?
Like 10 years lol. Not really a kid friendly set. He wants it bad tho...

I know on the fire, I was just at Lego store yesterday too. Been working on the lantern for awhile, the clear globe was hard to find. I just threw the stove together quick last night from spare parts I had.

I was hoping to find someone with a 3d printer to make me a set of floats and the rigging for a super cub in 1/32 scale.

My credo
Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.

Shapeways.com is a sort of marketplace for 3d printed goods.. lots of cool rc related stuff. Perhaps someone there has something

in the model train area of most hobby shops (if it's a good one with a train section) they should have plastic sheets, most floats are fairly simple and flat, get yourself some Plastruct cement (it's basically MEK and other bad stuff but in a brush in cap jar, disolves ABS and makes it melt to itself) and a sheet or whatever of the ABS they use for building stuff for trains, should be able to bend with a heat gun... 3d printing would be easier but there's other options...
