I seem to recall......that the old girl picked some up second hand from a school fête or some other bring and buy tat fest and it sat unplayed with for ages before I had a go and then I wanted more to build extravagant vessels for transporting everything by little yellow plastic floats and tiny motor. Ran out of talent long before I achieved anything notable.
