To prepare for some one to one scale painting ie. painting the bedroom walls and ceiling I had to clean off the top of the wardrobe. I knew that there was a fair bit of stuff up there. So.............after a lot of cleaning this is what I ended up with. These were the model kits that I found; ![]() Some metal models, the aircraft were from either the Del Prado range, the Bus was purchased in Malta and depicts one of their old buses now sadly discontinued. ![]() Hi Gerry, if you are reading this, when you finish your beautiful wooden Lancaster how to you feel about having a go at this. Its the Del Prado Radio Controlled Spifire. Its only got a gazillion wooden parts???????????? ![]() This was a Corgi boxed set I purchased a few years ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() Some more metal models ![]() Rubber powered kit that my son gave me for Christmas 2014. ![]() This I had completely forgotten about, a rubber powered Fokker Triplane. ![]() I had actually been looking for this a few months ago but gave up thinking I had given it away. Just waiting for someone to say Go Fly Your Kite! ![]() ![]() Before moving to the main stash in the attic. ![]() This is a print I purchased a few years ago but still have not had it framed. ![]() Cheers Guys.

Ah come on, Joe! You didn't know you had all of these on top of a wardrobe?? Hardly believeable.... (the rest of us use an attic....or a garden shed) Just how big is your stash anyways??? (You can tell us, if not SWMBO) (promise - we won't tell... )P |

Joe I have to agree with Philip on this one , it says "4 foot wingspan" on the box of that Fokker ! How big is the press it was hiding in ? BTW you must have single handly kept Pegasus in business, nobody else I know owns one of their kits let alone builds them. Pff... To each their own. |

Hi Brian, Not a press but a bank of wardrobes about 10 feet long with a type of pelmet around it so its difficult to see what's on top of it. Thankfully my wife just about makes it to 5 feet tall so she could not see exactly what was on top of said wardrobe! I knew what some of the stuff was but even I was surprised at what I found. The wooden parts of the spitfire covered the 4ft long kite and the elastic powered Fokker Triplane. I thought that I had given the kite away and had completely forgotten about the triplane, not to mention some of the models. As for keeping Pegasus and Chris Gannon in business............ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Some other early short run injection kits. ![]() This is one of the Pegasus kits that I am working on at the moment. ![]() The white metal parts are not bad either, here are some of them. ![]() ![]() Cheers Guy Stick & String Rule O.K. |

Joe, STOP building those - in fifty years they will be antiques and far more valuable. Might even be the basis of a pension. ![]() David |
