Maxs Snack Attack

Uh-oh! While you were out of the house, your best friend
Max couldnt resist tasting your paper model collection.
All those hours of cutting, folding and gluing the fragile
little things, gone in a just few minutes of Maxs snack
attack! A scene of miniature destruction not known since
Godzilla trashed the stage set of Tokyo.
Though you caught Max in the act, how could such a good
doggie be guilty of this cardboard carnage? Perhaps it
was the cat who destroyed these paper models.
The lesson learned is that you should not leave your
paper models at home, but take them along to the
International Paper Modelers Convention, where you can
show them off to other paper model enthusiasts!
