Young Architect Toy…


So i came across this whilst searching around Amazon

The stereotypical child architect...? well he does look like a wanker i guess.

The young architect by …‘Poof-Slinky’ (no….really…)

Build your own 3-D architectural models – just like real architects do!

  • Reusable design and building set
  • Create 3-D models in three easy steps
  • Design floor plans with room templates
  • Furnish rooms with the furniture guide and colored pencils
  • Build a 3-D model on top of the floor plan
  • 9 room templates

Why isn't this child wearing all black?

Learn to envision different uses of space, proportion and architectural design to create your own unique dream house.

“I bought this for my 14 year old son and was very disappointed…. A pad of graph paper, plastic templates that are available at office supply stores, a good metal ruler, some paper and tape are a better investment than this. ”

“I agree …this item disappointing. Actually, that’s putting it mildly. (…) all you get is few pieces of acrylic, tracing paper, a few peel and stick windows and four colored pencils. The “manual” is a 4-page booklet with little useful information in it. The people selling this should be ashamed of foisting it on gullible consumers (like me). Borders on being a scam. ”

All for the low, low price of US$55

I have come up with a cheaper solution, rather than spending a lot of money on your child (they certainly wont have money if they do make it to be an architect after all!) why not give them the real experience?

Simply keep your child awake for 40 hours straight, get them addicted to red bull and have them design a fully drafted and documented 4 bedroon, 2 bathroom, living, dining and kitched 6 star enegy rating house that complies with building codes and regulations and uses solely recycled materials – by tomorrow.

  19. First off I want to say great blog! I had a quick question in which I’d
    like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to know
    how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing.
    I have had trouble clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out.
    I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first
    10 to 15 minutes are generally lost simply just trying to figure
    out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Kudos!

    Great delivery. Sound arguments. Kеep up the great work.

  21. Thanks for discussing your ideas right here. The other element is that if a problem takes place with a computer system motherboard, people today should not go ahead and take risk involving repairing it themselves for if it is not done properly it can lead to irreparable damage to the full laptop. In most cases, it is safe just to approach any dealer of that laptop for your repair of that motherboard. They have technicians who definitely have an knowledge in dealing with laptop motherboard difficulties and can have the right diagnosis and accomplish repairs.

    Its like you learn my mind! You seem to understand so much
    approximately this, such as you wrote the book in it or something.

    I believe that you just could do with a few %
    to power the message house a little bit, however instead
    of that, that is wonderful blog. A great read. I will definitely be back.

  43. One thing I’d prefer to say is that often before buying more laptop or computer memory, consider the machine directly into which it would be installed. When the machine can be running Windows XP, for instance, the actual memory limit is 3.25GB. Using more than this would easily constitute just a waste. Make sure one’s mother board can handle the upgrade volume, as well. Good blog post.

    onto a co-worker who had been doing a little homework on this.

    But yeah, thanx for spending time to talk about
    this topic here on your website.

  45. I hope you all are having a great weekend. I added a new list. This one is smaller, but still useful. I think the next one will be bigger.

  46. Hi there, You have done an excellent job.

Captain Feline – Blending Pop Culture with Cats

felineship

Captain Feline employs anthropomorphism to blend pop culture with cats. The results are a collection of fun t-shirts and limited edition art prints – purr-fect for displaying a combined love of cats and cult movie characters! Whilst the debut t-shirt illustrations by Dave are inspired by cult and classic movie characters, the team plan to increase the range to feature other pop culture icons as they grow and expand.
