I’ve just noticed small imperfections on a part of the LM which I painted a few days ago so I’m about to sand them out and redo. Part of the fun as you say.afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-83474367326551814592020-10-26T09:52:47.550+00:002020-10-26T09:52:47.550+00:00afoot - I keep doing a bit but with 284 pieces the...afoot - I keep doing a bit but with 284 pieces there is till a fair way to go. I accidentally broke a minute piece, the seat support. It was about 10 mm. long and 1.5 mm thickness. I tried to pick it up with the tweezers but they acted as a propellant zapping the piece into the ether. After a while, crawling about on the floor with a torch, I found the piece then continued with micro-surgery glueing it back where it belonged - all part of the fun.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-53166870849034123612020-10-25T19:36:38.344+00:002020-10-25T19:36:38.344+00:00Your model’s looking good Conrad.

I’ve barely finished painting one part of my current Apollo Lunar Module - I always aim to complete by Christmas and get another done by Spring. afootinthehillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06670636358354420373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-18267976305183952242020-10-24T16:41:45.766+01:002020-10-24T16:41:45.766+01:00Gayle - we have had photos and videos of Katie and...Gayle - we have had photos and videos of Katie and Mum at their Shepherd's cabin. Also at a nearby skate park - Uncle Will bought K a skateboard and she is already showing promise. They have also been relaxing in a splendid wood-fired hot-tub. I think they are having an active and enjoyable break. Daughter Jill needs that after all the stress of of being on the management team at her school - it really is extremely demanding.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-72415263236389493902020-10-24T15:48:29.725+01:002020-10-24T15:48:29.725+01:00That rule of life is the reason that we have so mu...That rule of life is the reason that we have so much STUFF in our shed and secreted in various places around the house. Quite a few items have been called into use, and saved costs, during Project Erica, justifying my insistence on keeping them for all these years. <br /><br />Hope Katie's having a good birthday weekend - and what an artistic talent she has!Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648378503343413924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-72603142894515852862020-10-24T09:30:49.475+01:002020-10-24T09:30:49.475+01:00There is no way she is taking it to school - that ...There is no way she is taking it to school - that has been made very clear even though she understood that before we said anything anyway. But, a good pocket knife and ,in particular a Swiss Army knife, is part of the standard kit for anybody involved in outdoory activities. It is one of the few things these days that can last for a lifetime.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-58009482015954024052020-10-24T08:04:59.231+01:002020-10-24T08:04:59.231+01:00Katie is NINE !!!

Can’t wait for the consternation in the classroom when they ask her what she got, and she tells them “Grandad gave me a knife.” 🤣Ruth Livingstonehttp://www.coastalwalker.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
