You must have money to burn paying 2 quid for that.

My pal runs a laser business supplying wood cut wargame bases, model buildings etc. Occasionally my other half will pester for him to do bits for her (most recently a railway steam engine flat)… have to say £2.00 is not a bad price, so it is indeed a good buy. Not sure why anyone would feel the need to criticise, but I’d put it down to a reflection of them than you Bosscat. I think it would look smart in the right place.

It was more than £2 but am ignoring the idiotic replies... chatted with the bloke on the stall who uses a CNC machine ... he was doing a roaring trade.

I think you just need to see the replies made to others to see why its not worth engaging with it.

Chap and his wife (in Sunderland Shirts) bought all his Sunderland ones, for their fruends back up in Mackemland ...
They had been to Wembley yesterday and were in Blackpool for the night on their way home, we had a long chat about Footie and Sheff U's failures at Wembley

Ignore it HGC ...it aint worth it

You’re right Boss but I find it infuriating when a fellow Claret behaves like this.
Like to think we’re better than that but some of us clearly aren’t.

That's a beautiful piece, what size is it? I say it's a steal at 2 quid, that's $3.70 Canadian I'll give you $15 Canadian for it, you pay the shipping

Can’t see the size from the picture but the train I spoke of was done at cost… £4.00 for Natasha, but that was about 4mm MDF. Given that it his business, he’s paid for a pitch etc I think anything up to £20 would be reasonable. He’s spent quite a bit of time in setup, my mate is always replacing parts of the machine etc. I applaud him…. I bought cartoon figure of a footballer in York when I saw it was wearing a current Burnley kit (a few years ago)… now that was tat, but I still have it on display and every time I look at it it reminds me of a cracking weekend.

Its a piece of 24mm Pine? around 5" x 10" ... folk will see it along side tins etc in next seasons foodcount so will see its size then

It's very nice Bosscat. Did you also buy the statue of Morecambe and Wise. Look great on my front lawn that...!

Who can forget Eric explaining to Andrew Preview that he plays 'all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order'. Comedy gold.

I have one boss… MiL bought it for me at Xmas. I love it…

Don’t post a pic of it on the BRFC board tho, you’ll likely get a gittish comment like “tacky tat” from one of the shaddie baddies….-
