Louie da fly Posted February 12, 2021 #4 Posted February 12, 2021 Reminds me of the time I was a volunteer on an archaeological dig in the old pearling town (now a ghost town) of Cossack in Western Australia. We were excavating the town store, on the site of the first building in the town. The mining company that now owned the town had burnt the building that had been on the site, as it was believed to be the third building there, so of no historical value. Turns out what they'd burnt down was the original building . . . Steven thibaultron, druxey, mtaylor and 1 other 1 3 It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.
