Hi all, many of you who have pets especially mischevious ones may have encountered the same...I left my cave room door open and my two kittens had a field day on my work bench right after this was photographed...
I had just fitted the armoured shield above the instrument panel and prepped the items below for masking and painting and had just left the room. I was texting on my HP and on my way to the room when I noticed tooth picks lying on the carpet along with some paint brushes. These tooth picks only had one wheel attached on one side...good grief the devils have swallowed the other two wheels I thought. Being it was my fault for leaving the door open they only recieved a lecture and it was accidentally voiced recorded on my HP chatgroup. I must have pressed the key while lecturing and searching for the missing wheels.
Anyway I only found the front wheel so I needed to cast one of the rear wheels. The casting was a success...I might just do another one to be safe.
A simple build just became more exciting with search and rescue with mold and casting involved.
Cheers,
Richard

Alan...I wouldn't either
Oh naughty moggies!!
You could always wait 24 hours and see if the missing wheels come out the other end.....maybe not
Glad you’ve got it sorted
Si, I did that...really disgusting but resorted to the casting after the first poop. Thank goodness there was an alternative.
Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard
Pets are wonderful but they can make a modellers life difficult. I don't think I have one completed model that doesn't have a dog hair embedded in the paint somewhere

Hi Richard
I'm more a dog man than a cat man but those two are cute. Bet they have the humans in the house trained well

You can say that again Peter...good thing we don't need to be in uniform or dressed appropriately.

My hobby room is the only room in the house where cats are banned. Oddly enough the one time the door was left open (While I was in the room), Valde just sat at the threshold looking in..... "Hmm dare I go in there? Nope smells funny in there!"
Did have one cat that in a moment of panic jumped into a moving box with my Corvette I had been working on for about a year..... Then proceeded to pee on it!
Nice work on the Uhu. by the way. Must try that casting thing one day!

Nice casting Richard. Like Ian our cats are banned from the model room and usually sit at the door knowing fire and brimstone awaits. Doesn't stop them when I'm absent though, have lost a few parts and had models broken by the fur monsters over the years.
Mine is very good - she doesn't jump onto any surface that isn't clear. She does have a habit of wanting to be picked up and combed when I really want to concentrate on a tricky bit of modelling, but I can forgive that! Here she is in a typical ladylike pose:

Thanks gentlemen...Ian and Joe the casting was a booster as well for me. Peter she's lovely...the third one we have is similar but all black with white chest and tummy. Bob, the rainy season has started here so lots of lazybones here too.
I have made some progress on the canopy masking...the curves were just murder...
Halfway through I had to send my daughter to campus...
Back and I finished it up ready for the paint. Still a month to go...I'm going to break out the Humber or else I'll miss that deadline.
Cheers,
Richard
