Build it and they will come

Every now and then, I see something random on ebay and boom, i'm 7 again. Saw these lovely Rosebud building sets, still in the packet for 3 quid. Back in the day, I remember getting these, while out shopping in Wavertree. Theres an A, B and C set with C being moulded in red. Really simple, but I had to rely on my dads help to build the bigger models, so I must have been young. Amazing that they've survived unopened. Rosebud would later merge with Mattel.

  3. I wonder if there is a website detailing the kitbashing that Derek M and his team did? Marc Frattassio used towrite about this kind of thing on the TVCentury21 site I think.

  4. A lot of that sort of information can be found by trawling through the Eagle Transporter Forum.
