It was 25 years ago...

I think sometime in 1983 Kiwibonds located the first copy of the local rag we had even seen, I think from Burglar Bills in Chch. For a group of boys in little old Waimate the discovery that there were other nutters doing somewhat similar things to use, and that you could buy kits for making models of NZR prototypes. A name that kept cropping up in these mags was Colin McHarg and his number plates. Tonight, after 25 years I'm the extremely proud owner of a group of Da number plates. I think this is the first work Colin has etched in Nz120, and the results are just stunning. I'm now not brave enough to cut then out of the sheet.


( It was a bugger to photograph these and do them justice. they are just that good.)
