Default Heads Up Toys at Canex

At this time of year our loved ones often struggle to find the right gifts for us, a set of Whitworth spanners or an NOS ring gear set or a gallon of Olive Drab isn't what they want to give us, for some reason.

At the local Canex yesterday I found these three toys, maybe if they appeal then leave your browser open as a hint. If you don't have a Canex locally I would collect for you next time I am in town, if you just have to have one.

Happy Christmas to all the big kids that play with big and small toys.

I think that LAV is a model of those monument ones....pretty much a slabside.



I dunno Robin....personally I prefer 1 to 1 scale on those three items.

Yes, twelve inches to the foot is the ideal scale for that sort of kit.

Chris.

Some may not have the budget or premises for that, and some need encouragement in their early years to become addicts.

I am trying to live within my means currently, awaiting a winning lottery ticket to branch out one day. I would love a CVR(T) Samson recovery vehicle and would spend spring and fall doing in field agricultural recovery with truck and trailer to support it and pay for my hobby. Until then im sitting on my hands despite many nice projects presenting themselves, SWMBO has a finite patience and sense of humour and is a keeper so i am doing what is good for me.
