Hey Del,

Does that model remind you of the free plastic toys in the Kellogs Cereal boxes. Having a counter weight that you dangled over the edge of a table or such plane and it walked to the edge. Most did not work because of poor molding---flash. I learned that too late.

Come to think of cereal boxes, did you ever make up the animal heads on the back of the cereal boxes. We had a collection of lion and tiger heads --- darn it, no wee cats.

Regards.

Yeah, I remember the animal heads they were fun.
I remember they had railway locos on the back of Weetabix packets too waaaay before the animal heads, that was one of my first lessons in the harsh realities of life...it was so small and fiddly my Dad had to make it and it was tiny, a real dissapointment.

I like making stuff of out card...many years ago I was short of work, so I sat at my desk and made a cardboard model of a tracked missile vehicle for which we manufactured the radar system. If you pulled a tab under the cab, the missile bins and radar swivelled. The boss had been scowling at me for doing this, but I later later saw him using it as a demo model for visitors
