Christmas is fast approaching, and in fact I am taking a break from wrapping gifts to do this post. I have already sent large parcels to friends and family in Australia, and as soon as I get a commitment of reciprocation from BS, I’ll send something his way as well 🙂
Today we were in a certain local store shopping for a certain someone, and found this item on the shelf:
< Wheat Field?!
It’s a scale model field of wheat, intended for use as part of a model train diorama. It was fantastically detailed and very beautiful, and both KLS and I were agog it it. Until we looked at the back:
< Holy Moses!!
You have to (painstakingly) assemble the field from tiny pieces! Lord in heaven this would take forever, and you know it’d never look as good as the photo on the cover.
Truly a gift suited only to the most maniacal of train otaku!
