@unclejimmy that’s awesome.
I had my suspicious as to what kind of club something called “burk & hare” could be, but I had to google it … *eh*
Plastic crack must have been mighty addictive if that wasn’t a distraction .
Are you sure that visiting the shop wasn’t an excuse ? 😉

It does suck when (good) shops close.
When I was a kid there was an awesome shop filled with all sorts of scale model kits and pretty much anything you could imagine.
Unfortunately it closed after the brothers (who were both handicapped IIRC) who owned it died. To this day I haven’t seen anything even remotely similar. Never mind that scale model kits have also dissappeared from the regular toy shops (at best you can find a few easy-build kits). No one stocks the Revell and Italeri kits that I used to assemble as a kid.

I remember building this one :

Never painted any of the kits, because all we had back than were those awful enamel paints, which required a chemical called ‘thinner’ (sp?) to clean.
