First up, a Polish (I think) kit for a glider. Costing only £4, it was odd enough to appeal, and at 1:72, possibly even useful. Looking inside, it appears that these gliders don't have canopies, or at least there isn't one in the sealed bag.
Then a vintage Hornby bank kit. I pick these up when I see them for sensible money, for my column in The Collector. It looks like an attractive model, and not one you see very often. Under that is a Langley vac-formed 7mm scale viaduct. Useful if I ever need an O gauge photo plank with a background. I've also bought another Wills halt kit. No idea what I keep acquiring these, but it was only a couple of quid.
More practically, some paint pens I fancy trying out. I've been reading good things about them, so want to try for myself,
Finally, a monkey bike. No, I don't know why this appealed, but I just loved the look of it. Well, it's fun to buy a silly kit.
And, most excitingly, the first person I chatted to, was my old friend Chris Mead, builder of the layout "Overlord". He presented me with some jam.
And it's very good jam. The rhubarb and ginger is delicious on my breakfast sourdough toast. So nice, I need to ask him for another jar...
