biggest thomas in my collection

i picked this up this morning. a little tikes toddler bed! i am going to put a piece of MDF in for a base and use it for tomy thomas displays at my clubs big shows, the nearest of which is in october. i did think about using at the open day at the end of this month, but wanted this be a surprise later on.

i wanted something the small kids can view without having to be picked up. this also means i need to work out a way to stop them climbing and attempting to touch without restricting how close they can get. any suggestions? i was thinking perspex along both sides, but a sheet that big would cost a bomb and i dont know how to secure it.

he needs eyes, eyebrows and a mouth plus his #1's, and i have bought replacement stickers from ebay

   

[Super]

Holy smokes, great idea Sun, would love to see you carrying that on your motor bike

LOL. i could manage the smaller parts, but the face and sides would be too big. the sides for sure would exceed the legal distance something can protrude from a bike, and the box doesnt come off the front so would take up all the backseat. lol

To keep the kiddies off? How about barbed wire?!?!? Hehehe...

that would be one idea...
