[WWI] Disaster Contest

[Andy Bannister]

Recipes for disaster...
1. Move from Canada to the UK taking about 30 very carefully packed models
with you. Add one freight forwarding company and shake well for 48 hours.
Guess the results....

2. Accidently leave the door to the modellng sanctuary open while you grab a
quick bite to eat downstairs. Add one 15 pound feline who has a penchant for
looking out the window over your work bench and mistakes a 1/144th jet
(sorry, way ot) for a cat sized La-Z-Boy. Cat: 1, Jet: 0
