Venus from Fireball XL5 was my first experience of love.
I had a plastic model of it. I had to send off so many breakfast cereal box tops and when it arrived, I took it to Ely RAF hospital where my dad was recovering from an appendicectomy and as he lay there in his sick bed, he glued it together. Still, there was only something like 20 parts so it's not as if it was a big job, eh ?
