Cabinet Reshuffle

 It maybe a while before our new PM has a cabinet reshuffle but mine was accelerated by the arrival of three men of action.

A few hours sorting, shifting and stacking later, here's my two cabinets now containing my pandemic scratchbuilt SpaceX and Thunderbirds models, my Transformers and now complete with the new Action Man arrivals.

My die-cast case is choc full. Only redlines are allowed space from now on and they're thankfully rare! 

John Marshall's book Action Figures of the 1960's is special to me. I bought it at the massive Strand bookstore in New York City in January 2001. My Missus took me to the Big Apple as a surprise for my 40th. In September that year 9/11 happened and the Strand really isn't that far from Ground Zero I don't think. Leafing John's book always makes me feel grateful to be alive.

Have you had a cabinet reshuffle? Have you any John Marshall books? Have you been to the Strand book shop?

    Wow, that is a tight fit. It might be time to put Action Man on a diet, if you plan on any further additions.
