Thanks for the posts boys, they make for great reading.
Had a bit of a near disaster a couple of days ago.
My son borrowed the finished dio to show my very young grandson and I received a sheepish phone call from him.....
"Er, hello dad, er, I would like to bring your model back, but Tom has been secretly playing with it and the soldiers have gone missing, I'll have a look and see if I can find them, sorry."
Yesterday...
"Hi dad, great news, we asked Tom what he had done with the soldiers and, bless him, he took my hand and led me to our fish tank and they were happily floating on the top of the water. Tom told me he wanted to feed the fishes!"
So all is well. Sorry for the lack of pictures, but it's blowing a bit outside so I can't take the model out just yet. I hope to do so tomorrow.....
I will take this opportunity to wish one and all on Scale Models a Merry Christmas.
Cheers,
Ron
