Found a used popsicle stick, drew a little face on the end of it with a pencil. As a kid, I was so poor and lonely that this doubled as my favorite toy and best friend. I remember once, I got into a fight with it and we didn't talk to each other for weeks ....... what a bummer.

meccano, lego, trainsets, scalextric, and from 15 yrs, MODEL AIRPLANES!!!
Still mucking around w/ these, only nowadays it's nearly all R/C helis, which I turned into a part-time business (work's a cuss) FWIW, I can make 2 30 size machines fit in my boot
Anyone else into these?

I have'nt had much time for it in recent years but, my 6 year old son has been a good excuse for me to get back into it!!
I still have a dozen or so R/C sailplanes.
I do have an Icarus Piccolo micro heli and another 4 rotor heli.
TOYS, gotta have 'em !!

Used to build tiny towns out of legos and Lincoln logs for my matchbox collection. (still have) then play out dumb scenarios, most of which ended up with an illegal drag race through town being chased by the cops. Ending in a firey crash! Now I have to dig those out and relive it.
