Well here it is..... my first photo story of 2007. And my first one in 2 years.

It feels good to get back into the swing of things  ;D

Thanks for the great story and wonderful photos, Dunc.

Once that jeep and trailer are available in red, it may well find itself on my shopping list. :)

Great story, great photos and I want some hot chocolate and cheese bread! ... ;)

I have a question about the headlights on your "old" Jeep, Dunc. How did you do it? They look fabulous!

I love looking at all that beautiful snow while/whilst sitting by the pool here in Virgin Islands ... :lol:
(For some reason, I seem to appreciate snow so much more when I don't have to be out in it. Must be my age, eh!) ... ;)

Thanks for some good Klicky fun and for some really splendid entertainment, Dunc!

All the best,
Richard

I think they hemispherical glass pieces, possibly from a jewel craft supplier.  It's something I've been experimenting with too.

I forgot all about those Richard. I'm surprised anyone noticed, they arent all that obvious to me anymore.

All they are is little clear rubber thingies that I forget the name of. They are used for putting onto things that sit on furniture so as to not scratch. Or, on the backs of small cabiniet doors or the like so they don't bang against walls or whatever. Sorry the name escapes me and I can't find the package.

I found them quite by accident one day at the dollar store and thought they might make good realistic headlight lenses. Not sure if I like them, but they're still there for now.

You know, craft stores and dollar stores often have surprising little items that can easily be integrated into Playmo for many various purposes.

Great story Dunc. I like the use of the photo print look, especially with the writing.

Thanks Tim. I thought a little bit of a personal touch would make it all seem like a real-ish story with some history behind it.

 :)
your stories made me remeber a car a friend of mine had 20 years ago.
last week i saw one driving through the streets of a town near my own.
i wonder if you know it - it is a haflinger made by an austrian company called steyr-puch.
it would ride fine in snowy canada, no doubt.
thanks fot the pictures and the story and i hope you will like the haflinger.
