I seem to remember the Airfix ones were the tiny ones in the flat box, then there were the bigger ones around 2" high.

Ah mine were the titchy ones, last time i had a play with soldiers was on a top priority site i was working on. A model oil rig built to scale, even had model oil workers scattered around it, hard hats and all.It was the center piece of the Lord Mayors opening ceremony. I went out and bought a load of Cowboys and Indians and scattered them among said rig.There was hell to pay, but i remained unfound.

I also remember making model boats, cars, whatever then setting them alight.

Re: What Toys did you have as a Child?
Gosh you guys are bringing back memories for me.My brothers were mad on war games and would build a battlefield on their bedroom floor ... I used to get to build the tanks for them. Highly secret work it was too .. smuggling the kits in without the other knowing.

He had an infuriating habit of playing his tape cassette player far too loudly in our shared bedroom and completely failed to listen to reason when I asked him to turn it down.
Enough was finally enough and one day I stuck a small pin through the mains cable, bridging the two conductors, and then carefully cut of the protruding parts of the pin so nothing was visible. Of course, as soon as he plugged it in it blew a fuse and subsequent attempts had exactly the same effect. Eventually, he assumed it was faulty and threw it away.
Nasty, eh?

Must admit to buying my son the game Crossbows and Catapults, only because i wanted to play it, hours of endless fun firing things all over the living room, she who i never obeyed was not amused. Her bulldog chewing a wasp expression was priceless.
