Thanks John, much appreciated.

Your welcome Andrew, hope you taken loads of photos on you trip ?

Hi John
Those ammo boxes look good. Must be your background in working with wood.

Never happier Jim when using it .

Pyro,
Sorry man I'm just catching up here, serves me right for blinking my eyes after your KV2 endeavor. Geez you're like a Marine charging up Mount Suribachi lol !
Well heck, concession stand was closed so I'll just stand in the back here with Rick H. And keep a lookout for.... say, who is Matron anyway? Is that like Nurse Ratched ?

Thanks buddy.Well being retired Ron let's me have all the time I want. Plus I really love being creative, beats sitting doing nothing.

Thanks Rick for explaining to Ron who Matron is. A couple of photos for you .
This one shows Matron in the side car on the annual hypodermic needle throwing championships at Clapham common 1998.

This one shows her today ridding her Rudge 500cc
Thanks to Paul for pointing out the incorrect cc of the Rudge .

Hi John

Will do.

Currently sat in the cafe at the Army Flying Museum at Middle Wallop. I've got our decent digital SLR with me and so I'll do what I normally do; create a public album on my Flickr account, upload some tasters in forum thread and post a link to the album. Therese just too many to upload them all to the forum.

Although it's only small we've got about 50 photos at the Army Flying Museum.

ATB.

Andrew

Lots of things happening here at the Towers.
For one the track road wheels have all been changed to spoked and the track guards have again been altered. Some mistakes by the kit manufacture are the cause after I had read my T60 bible.
Not that any one would or me would have really bothered, but looking at the book is to blame .

Fruils are done, just waiting for some treatment to arrive tomorrow and then some more painting can begin.

A few ideas for the diorama base in mind.

Looking at those smirks on the sidecars they caught someone bending! As to the rudge, my sister in law has a photo of her gran riding a similar machine….she’s even dressed the same.

Tracks are burnished and look good, still waiting for one more item so I can continue. No one seems to have guessed what is about to happen !

Stay tuned

 

[JR]

Now tell me,yesterday I burnished the tracks, washed and laid them out to dry. Then put on a tile on the bench and laid them side by side , both the same lenght. This morning I looked and one is 3 links short ?
Answers please. Now got to add those three links and burnish them to match

 

[Jim R]

Strange goings on indeed. Maybe the carpet monster in you neck of the woods has learned how to climb. Very strange indeed.

Did you upset the modelling spirits and it's now payback....or have you got a car that likes to eat metal??

Very strange Andrew,must have done, searched the bench , floor. The fish have been questioned, no help whats so ever, might be the plastic vinyl monster. Have had trouble with that before.

Think your right Jim, I swear the tracks were the same length when I left them.

3 links are in the fluid as I write, leave them too long and they will either go completely black or be eaten away

... and I thought it was only me . It happens all the time mate. The worst thing is I add on the extra links to make them equal again and then when I add them onto the model they are too long!! Whats that all about??? Its an age thing mate and your not alone.

However we do live with a ghost/ghosts in our house. We have had several unexplained situations that have arisen over the years. For example, once every time Lisa turned the light on in the kitchen, the light on my phone came on. When she turned it off the light on my phone went off. This happened several times for different lengths of time of turning the light on and off. However when we put other lights on in the house nothing happened. Our favourite one relates to Lisa's phone case where she keeps all our credit and debit cards. When she came down one morning they had been taken out of the phone case and stacked neatly behind the lounge table leg. Fortunately they are friendly ghost/ghosts so we don't mind. Happy Halloween!
