I found this unopened box on one of the shelves at Jack's place. Anyone ever seen this before?

Never seen it before but a bit of Googling shows that they also did a sailing ship and dinasours. Interesting idea but I'm relatively certain I know why it didn't catch on. :roll:

We had a dinosaur one for the kids, and it made one hell of a mess, even with newspaper laid down and out in the garden. Took days to clean up :(

Kids liked their dino though :D

I wonder if this is where David Cundall got his start. :wink:

Sorry folks, I heard TIGHAR is raising money and getting permits for this.

Their version has a twist. All you have left is the little bits then you check each one and decide which looks like a coral encrusted Electra part. Throttle quadrant for sure!
