Timeless toys

Un-frikkin-believable! Rupert gave me a small Lego figure of Father Xmas in 1998, and it has lived on my desk ever since. It has survived more than 20 desk moves since then. It consists of 19 pieces and has been a source of creative energy all that time. Now after 11 years (!) you'd think all the possible variations on this kit would be exhausted. Frankly, so did I, until I invented two new models last week. Both models use all 19 pieces...

(Here piece no 19 is concealed, making the board appear to hover.)

Geez, the gift the keeps on giving, eh? Rupert, love man.
