I have a story concept that takes place in 1975 about a kid (Caucasian, ~13 years old) who works to earn enough to buy a Cineroc. He buys, builds, and then gets to fly it. I'd love to film this story, and as such I'm hoping that the story would be period accurate (no glaring "videotape" type errors that you find in the University of Alabama scene in Forrest Gump).
While I was around in 1975, I was a little too young to be launching rockets (I took another 7 years before I built/launched my first). So, I'm looking for the kinds of things a kid in 1975 would have had. I'd especially like photos of bedrooms (with models hanging from the ceiling), lists of what models/rockets people would have had. What kind of bike you'd have been riding if you were a paperboy, things like that. Who knows, perhaps the kid can be a composite of what people actually remember.
Thanks!
