While waiting for a bus outside a hobby store on year ten camp I peared into the dimly lit store window, and beyond the brightly coloured kites I saw a stand of model boats. Large boxes and small boxes lined the shelf...and there on the top shelf a bright blue box with a large picture of a paddler on it!
And thats how I found a kit model that I had no time to fidn out more about because our bus came! hope you enjoyed my story! lol
Oh, My God!
hehehehe I see someone enjoyed my story! what a reaction, what brilliance! My life is complete!
No the model looked good and I wish I could have gone in and bought it for myself but because I was on camp and about to catch a bus the teacher may not have liked it.
Rivetting story, Sean, I look forward to the next gripping instalment.
BTW, any progress to report on that large scale paddler you're working on?
Well I thought I had a hull, but it turns out I don’t. So as soon as I can buy myself one then I will start work on fitting it out with wheels, a nice little deck cover or something! The guy down the road had 4 yachts he was selling but mum wouldn’t let me buy one L oh well. So after I go hull shopping I will tell you…currently I have a girlfriend burning a hole in my pocket!
Sean - as an older PD member I do assure that the fairer sex [females] do end up burning great holes in our bank accounts & as time goes on, after divorce or death, new girlfriends still end up trying to chew the $ in the same way :hmmm - I am not being cinical, just look at Rupert Murdoch !! - Derek
I live near Ruperts Mum! hahahahaha just down the road infact, she has a lovely property, nice gardens etc! Never got to meet her though!
My girlfriend spends more on me though than vice versa
Returning to the subject of the kit. Where and what was it?Or can't you remember.
