Also had an action man with eagle eyes. For some reason i used bury him in the back garden in his tank to see how long he survive.

also used to have loads of soldiers metal and plastic. Me my bro and mates would build bases out of dirt and stuff and then throw stones/bricks at them to see whose would last the longest. Those were great days.

Spent my childhood weekends in my dads shed as only two kids near me were loads older and like football. So used to play with 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines at 10, can rebuild almost anything now!
Me and bro spent almost rest of our time playing in ruins of nelson quarry / cement works.
