Way cool Legionaire, Andy!!! but I got so caught up in this Airfix thing that I almost forgot the thread was about your 'bash, tres manifique, and pretty expensive I would guess too as BG pointed out.

but, back to the Airfix. I was a lad of around 8 or 9 in town for my piano lessons. After the lesson I was wandering around downtown and drifted into a little store I liked and found all these miniature army men!!! I was hooked, stayed in the store for a while and looked closely at every one. By the time I went out of the store to fine my mom, she was hoppin' mad, really mad. She'd been driving around and around looking for me while I was in that store.

Needless to say, she wasn't too interested in hearing about the cool little army men I had found.
