Impressive model build

[Seadog]

Watch: Retiree builds replica Sherman Firefly tank to keep himself occupied as wife golfs

Roland Hopper, who was 'bored to tears' upon becoming a pensioner, worked on the model kit for ten years and is now selling up

Superb !

I can understand him being bored to tears - I too am certainly not a golfer !

I'll be happy when I've built my version of one of these meccano tanks as a radio controlled model

I remember having that half track truck, I zoomed one of the wheels down the stairs and it went straight through the front door glass!
I got a 'thick ear' for that one

Still got most of my set, in an old tin biscuit tin (thick enough to use to repair a car with) with pictures of an old and dirty London on the sides and lid. Just no instructions . . .
