 I have no idea what has happened but today I can post pictures.





The Vosper MTB is awaiting the rigging, some more paint and weathering before it is completed.
The Nieuport 17 in 1/32 scale is now rigged although this photo shows it in mid rig. I had to remove the original rigging and reapply as the CA glue didn’t hold and once again I spilt the glue over my desk! Decals and weathering will see this completed.


The Junkers Ju 87B Stuka is pretty much done. It could do with some weathering but after four months of building I have had enough. Enjoyable but a lengthy and at times frustrating build as pieces came off despite repeated applications of cement. Some new techniques used and I have learned a lot from this build.



All in all these three builds will be finished and the desk cleared for my next build. 

Sue suggested last week that we needed a new cardboard box for the cats as one of them had fallen to pieces, so she suggested I buy a large model! Two duly ordered and the cats have new boxes to go with the several dotted around the house. I had held off from buying new kits as I stocked up on paints, thinners and new clear coats. So I didn’t need much encouragement to buy one of the tank kits on my list. 

Today was my first day for sitting out in the sunshine in the garden. Grass cut last week although it took two days as the grass was long and wet despite a couple of dry days. Sadly, my back and legs can only do so much but worth it as I enjoyed being out today. Cats various wandering around and catching up with the neighbours as we enjoyed the sun. Apparently tomorrow will be warmer and sunnier and I will certainly make the most of it.

I hope all is well with you and that the weather and life is being kind to you all.

TTFN.

 This blog is now twenty years old! How on earth has that happened and where have those years gone? Google is playing silly buggers so this is again a test and I might need to consider another blogging platform.
