I’m afraid my Blue Knight didn’t turn out quite like this.
The toy universe, back when I lived in it with my brother and sister, was very rich in knights, armor and all. Imagine our delight when we got these model kits for Christmas.
Alas, plastic swords and battle-axes wouldn’t even cut yarn; the yarn cut them when we tried. My Blue Knight of Milan never did stand quite straight–probably needed a lamp-post to lean on.
Even so–model kits were fun! I don’t know how popular they are today, but back then they gave us many happy (and peaceful!) hours. And there’s very much to be said for that.
