Had a full house today, 3 of our kids, 8 of their kids, My sister and er two boys, My brother and his 4 kids and their kids with their kids 42 people in all.
All come to see grandson off on his entry into regular army from TA. I went and hid in shed but Grandson found me and made himself a bullet click to take with him.
Another crap kit gone out of drawer, slowly getting rid of all the old shit init?
No that is not tube showing through, he painted it black and used what he thought was a black blank but it was black and gold.
One of Merv's acrylics been hanging around, I thought I had given all me plastic away but he found one.

These are really cheap nasty kits, the click will last for all of 5 presses before it ceases to function and the rifle clip will snap off the first time he puts it in his pocket but he wanted it and was happy to make it.
That pleases me as much as the time I spent with him before he goes off.

A nice item for your Grandson to look back in time when he needs to Brian. It ain't that bad of a pen to be honest, maybe the clicker won't last but the sentiments will remain my friend .. :thumbs:

Thanks for the nice comments peeps, I am gonna miss the tyke.
He was well on his way to being a wrongun but the way he stood up for his sister Charly when she had a spot of bover Changed my view of him.
He sure has come good recently and I admire his outlook on life now, he can get rid of any frustrations in the mob and come out a proud man.
Love em all init?
