I liked these books as a child, they're forty five years old this week! What I liked most was the cutaways of the nests showing all the details of their tiny anthropomorphic lives.https://share.google/qE0AhzmaCeDjuNxRz

I will be taking the pictures I made for the "K" event along this weekend to ECM. K1, 3, 6 & 10 are taken, the rest are still up for grabs so unless I hear from the people that donated with a number I'll try and hawk the rest!
If anyone knows Cmdr R09u3 could you please ask them to get in touch? <3

Not very thrilling to look at I know, but these are plaster casts for my spaceship modelling activity at ECM drying out in the sun. I've bought a load of badge backs too so you can choose to just make the top half and embed a badge pin into the rear while the clay is soft . I'm dead excited! ❤️
