I need a break from ship model building for a bit. Not forever as I have two more ship kits to build, but a break from ships might be good. So, long story short, I have a British friend and was looking for something from London she didn't have. I though of building her a model of a red London Call Box but she has a nice metal one in a case. So while searching kits in the Ages of Sail web site I came across this. A London Tram Wooden Kit; 1:24/G-45 scale kit made by OcCre. I'm thinking of getting it. Her birthday is coming up and I think she'd like it.
