Title: Charity Shop
Post by: Murph on October 15, 2015, 06:48:21 pm

OK so we're on our way back from Cork city and her indoors decides we need a look round St Vincents charity shop in Ticknock on the way home , reluctantly I joined her , to my amazement loads of cheap jewellery with unending yards of very usable chain and beads that will do as net top bouys and fenders , happy days , 3 euro for the lot , this is just some of it  :-)) :-)) :-))

Also the toys have very good quality screws and bolts all in small sizes, worth talking to the manager about any they are throwing away. Stripped down they give a lot of usable bits. (just fills the dustbin up with useless bits of mouldings

If you're really lucky you might also find figures that are adaptable as crew.  :-))
