neil r Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) I've got this set up in my loft where I've got a 1/72 scale mock up of the Scottish/English border complete with the A1 running down it. Occasionaly when stressed I retreat to my diorama with a little scale man on his 1/72 cycle. I make him cycle up to the very limit of the 'Scottish' side of the border, before taking him from his bike and in my tiniest, squeekiest angriest voice he shouts "poooooooooofffffsss" at an empty road on the 'English' side.

Armchair Bob Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Cycling on the A1? That's insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil r Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 (edited) No no no. It has a correct scale A1 on it. My little cyclist does his ranting on one of the minor roads. A quieter road also saves me from having to make car and lorry noises etc. Edited April 18, 2015 by neil r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brant grebner Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Making the noises is definitely the best bit. I like to stick my arms out when I'm on the toilet and pretend to be a fighter pilot in a WWII plane. I'm flying back from a scouting mission over some Pacific atolls and I see a squad of Japanese Kamikaze pilots flying towards my aircraft carrier and the rest of the convoy. I make the plane fly really fast and I shoot them out of the sky one by one. Da da da goes my gun and they shout "achtung" and "aieee" as they explode in a fireball. The final plane is heading for the main ship - a cruise ship where there's a big band playing and people are dancing and partying and having a swell time. He is out of machine gun range and he's cackling as he plans to gatecrash the party with his jap plane of death. But I won't stand for it and I fire one of my prototype super missiles at him as he is just inches from his target. "Kssssssh" He explodes just as he was about to scream "banzai", I say "sayonara Mr Miyagi" then I finish my shit and wipe my arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Man Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Scotty that last picture reminds me of Big Bang episode where they get car stolen whilst they've stopped to get pictures taken. ) Sorry Phart. Don't play any games unless it's with my kids, but I fail to see how a lack of interest in playing model Japs and Commandos makes me an "atrophied couch potato". ) Join on the train if you want to play japs and commandos. Brilliant, you've taken me back to the playground Marky. Brilliant Peever. I made a shelf** in woodwork once so I'm deeply impressed by creative workmanship. **It was meant to be a spice rack but I got papped outside the door for running between 2 classes with my jacket over my head shouting, "the bells, the bells." a la Quasimodo, so I missed the part where they taught us to chisel.

Charlie Endell Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I can't mind that. I just remember eagerly parting with my pocket money at Forbouys in St Leonards - wish I'd had the foresight to keep some although I think it's only the '60s / early '70s ones that are collectable (my time would have been late '70s).
