Page 17 A growing desire

I find it a lot of fun putting the odd ‘nostalgia panels’ in, such as the one here of me making a plastic model kit of the Apollo Lunar Module. My favourite model of all time was the Saturn V rocket which I started to draw Nick building here, but then remembered I'd already shown it built on a previous page in chapter one so had to substitute a different model!
This was before ‘glue sniffing’ became an issue and I would wonder why my head felt so tight after a day spent making a model up!
This also shows though that as trans, I wasn't fixated on anything that was purely female apart from the dresses at that age. I loved my Action Man more than Linda's Barbie or Sindy dolls too but I did envy her dolls house for some reason and always wanted one of my own just because the tiny furniture was so cool. If my action man had been small enough to fit I could have used it as a snipers hideout!

Dear Sky My friends and I would buy about 5 tubes of Prince brand glue tubes, some paper bags, then go to the park where we would sniff and get high! That was about 50 years ago! another nice page. tommym
