I found it on top of a stack of other old model kits, as if it was waiting for me there, and I held it in my hands for some time as waves of nostalgia washed over me. I only had my memories to help me find this, not even knowing its name I couldn't find it on the internet or E-bay, the only record I had was an old xmas photo of me opening presents with the model sitting in the background.
The only question now is do I build the thing or leave it in the unwrapped condition it is currently in? I feel as if it is my duty to breath life into its plastic parts!
Wow I wondered where i had seen before. That sought of thing was so rare to find back in the 80s. Loved it back when you would go hunting in London for rare items!
ReplyDeleteReminded me of when we used to go to car boot sales and found old electronic games, before the e-bay boom. It's too easy now!
ReplyDeletehello Paul,how are you?
ReplyDeletei could imagine you were very happy to find it.
i hope you show that madel for us after accomplishment.
I'm fine thanks. Hope you are well too!
ReplyDeleteI was very pleased to find it! Haven't decided whether to build it or not yet, if I do I will let you know!
I always wondered what this was when I saw it in your bedroom as a child. I sort of remember it being different colours though. I say make it and complete your quest.
ReplyDeleteThe one I had was a different character, with a red hat. Still can't bring myself to make it though!
