AN OPEN AND SHUT CASE: LOOEYS DRAWERS

I had to laugh when I received an email recently from our blog reader and model maestro Looey Morley, after he saw the 'Gripping Stuff' post:

"Hello Wotan, you're doing a great job at the wheel while Woodsy's out of the picture. Your posts are interesting and varied and your punning titles are great! Take for instance that Arm robot featured in your Gripping Stuff article.

It reminded me I had one, because I decorated the side of a sliding draw in my kitchen when I built it 30+ years ago. In fact the sides of a lot of these draws have popular culture ephemera pasted inside, as hidden treats to entertain you when you're scrabbling for a tin of Spag-A-Saurus...

      

I won't give a draw by draw commentary, but these I can't resist. 

"The robots took to fighting and rolled out on the floor, Ideon looked like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone..."

And "Sunderbardo..." the Japanese chewing gum wrappers featuring Tracy Island's finest."

What a cool idea to re-use vintage ephemera and a fantastic looking kitchen area! I replaced all the cupboard doors in mine recently and none of them are on straight! Top marks for building entire units, let alone decorating them so imaginatively! Glad you're enjoying my blog tenure, still lots more to come!
