Letting the air clear from the above .
Nice one Tim !
I've been into the bunker most of the day, seems to take so long just applying paint to the smallest detail, still enjoyable.
One welcome disruption was the sight of the BBMF Dakota as it made its way to Capt Tom's Funeral. Very lucky here as we often get a glimpse of planes of the flight as they go and return from various duties. Flew around the town twice before banking over and heading off, must say it was more moving than normal.
Today saw the mentioned earlier surgery, thanks to Neil for explaining this method some time back.
Cut and drilled with a .6mm bit.
Arm then ca'd and fitted to torso, looking at it now I suppose I could have twisted the lower section round a bit more. Tomorrow I think some debonda !
All the figures now have hears attached that needed them, first skin tones done. Going to leave everything until tomorrow now to fully dry.
Also cut some fire wood .
Meanwhile in the pond the fish have been asking for food, very early but with it being so sunny and much warmer I was not surprised.

I'd say about 14 " we think he or she is 38 this year !
Thanks for looking in.

See what you mean by 'rotating' a little - it looks as though he's turning the pan to get some more heat under the bacon, rather than lifting it off the heat - perhaps Sergei prefers crispy bacon?
Yes , applied some debonda last night, need to redo it and attemptemt the twist. Any betting the whole are comes off !
Thanks Andrew, just had a test on the side where the split wood is and although I marked the wall side some was too far over, but not now ! Going to have to rebuild the upper stack .

Hopefully he's not armless today, and you get the result that you want, always the way with positioning - I have had to make up molds from plastercine, and cast the bits I want in two parts, glue together then clean up to get what I want - all good fun!

Very little done as it was so sunny, most time spent in the garden.
I did get his arm moved, dedonda is the fastest paint remover !
Bit blurred, sorry.
Also started the assemble of the box.

Thanks as always for looking in.

Si, it was really beautiful today, had a cup of tea by the pond after I'd cleaned the downstairs window's. Only managed about 30 mins at the bench, and that was this evening !Surprised you made time for the bench at all, given the beautiful sunshine we’ve had!
Is that bacon ready yet
a cup of tea
Looking good John. Love the firewood especially, the colour is spot on!
Thanks Tim, just sliced balsa , thought it did have a strong grain. I was going to add some colour but reading what you wrote think I'll leave it .

It won’t shock you if I told you I was in just my shorts yesterday while pottering around the garden! South facing we got up to about 15c. Got loads done and even mowed the grass!!
Roll on spring
If I tried to cut my grass the mower would sink into the clay! Built some raised beds with reclaimed sleepers from a local narrow gauge railway though. Expecting three tons of soil this week to fill them
