Dear all,
As you know the season of goodwill to all men and ladies will soon be upon us. Do any of you know what you are getting for Christmas?
If you are like me I bought my own Christmas present this year. I’m sure the other half will got me something nice as well. I got myself a load of Meccano as I fancied doing some engineering. What did you get?
Regards
Glenn 🧑🎄

Meccano? That's a lovely blast from the past!  I can remember loads of fun building things in my childhood with Meccano. I wonder how many of us cut our teeth (not to mention fingers on the sharp edges) on Meccano's mechanical engineering projects and led us on to modelling in other genres? When I'm searching the attic or garage I often find little plates and nuts and bolts in the bottom of various boxes!  Go on! Blackpool Tower in 1/35 scale!!!

I got Meccano sets for years as my birthday present when I was a kid. Fond memories!
Cheers,
Mark

Well, being 68, I'm a big kid. Hoping for lots of Tintin related stuff. Books, figurines, cars etc. Also, anything Asterix or Blake and Mortimer.

(Pack 16 was received back in May.) Best Wishes, Bryan “Do I dare Disturb the universe? In a minute there is time For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.” ― T.S. Eliot
