Doesn't ring a bell that game.
I mentioned this elsewhere and found some examples.
First SHAKER MAKER which involved making moulds of characters and shaking the container-hence the name.
Secondly PLASTER CASTERS(still available today) Here are some examples.

I had the Paddington single version of him sitting on his suitcase and envariably something wouldn't quite harden in time but it was fun to paint them later when bone dry. The real difficulty for many was pulling off the moulds carefully.

Airfix models-I also remember building a tank and then making a diorama for Cubs as part of my Bronze Arrow challenge. It looked pretty good as I recall.

Anyone remember having Spirograph? British invention by Denys Fisher.

I recall spirograph. I was too busy throwing the bits around thinking I was a ninja... Surprised

Yes,I got my sister's Spirograph handed down to me in the late 80s.Great fun. Smile

Also remember getting a sort of rip off version of it a few years later but I can't remember what it was called.

Did your local park have one of these? A witches Hat.. Ours did...and if you fell off you landed on unforgiving concrete!!

(Yup to both of those and a mad rocking horse type thing AND a seesaw all surrounded by concrete. In our park we also had a statue that we used to climb up-still there today but cordoned off now as being too dangerous.)

I loved airfix. This was my favourite kit, the most difficult to complete probably but well worth the effort. Smile

LEGO set I had when young and the one I helped a friend of mine put togther-a chassis.
My one(tractor) see the other thread for a story about it.
