A Thunderbird 2 model built by Keith Remnant.
This box turned up unexpectedly on my doorstep one Father's day. No card or note with it! But I figured out it was from my son who ordered it on line and had it delivered direct to me, so he didn't get the chance to put a card in. He thought it was a model that actually flew! (13/07/2017)

A Meccano bridge with Lego piers built by Keith Remnant. At an exhibition 4 years ago I met another exhibitor who had examples of several different construction systems, none of which were compatible. He had a 3D printer and was interested in making parts to make the different systems work together.
So I built the bridge, just a freelance invention of my own, and built the piers using the Lego that used to belong to my children and grandchildren!
I made a 3D model in Autocad of the black parts fully dimensioned and sent them to the other exhibitor to get a quote to make them. The idea was that I would then bolt the Meccano bridge to the Lego piers. He quoted £16.00 EACH. £64.00 was just out of the question, but I noted that the distance between the studs was compatible with the distance between the downstands of the angle girders. So I superglued the black parts of Lego together and cut slots with a tenon saw. Hey presto, one Legano bridge. I bought the road and cars at another of the the Elgin exhibitions and have just made up the little diorama to complete it. (2010s)
