Yes, I had a little chuckle to myself about mother being overprotective of her beloved GenerationY.
Nothing like having ones fingers covered in Airfix glue, razor nicks or Humbrol paint.
Gees couldn't a little tin of Humbrol paint go along away especially if you hadn't changed out of your Sunday best, like mum said to do before painting that model. New pair of pyjamas(Coles of course)on for a spot of modelling before bed, Airfix Scottish Bulldog and a tin of Red Humbrol paint and a slip of the finger's and oh dear we dropped the newly painted model on the new pyjamas and their was red paint from head to toe, no modelling privileges for a while!
