Day 24

Sets of building stuff. Meccano, Lego, building blocks etc. This Meccano set is mine from when I wer' knee-high to a grasshopper - probably 30-odd yr old or so

  1. Meccano. Long time I haven't seen one of these. All the kids had them back in the day! I can't imagine photographing this without getting the urge to sit down for hours and make things! I also love how we can see all the scratches and places where screws were once upon a time, showing how loved and how often this was used. It's a shot that brings nostalgia with it, not only for the audience, but surely, also for you, the photographer. Well done!

  2. It's probably worth a bit too. Maccano is great stuff and obviously built to last.

  3. Well used set, the colours and details are great again and you kept the instructions in good condition too. Did you have a little play?

  7. Ahh gotta love Meccano. The best stuff, and long lasting, unlike most of the stuff you get now.
