Hi John
I can see you're having a smashing time. Windows look really excellent.



May not be perfect but we at the TBC welcome all attempts at bench tidiness.
Jim

I am indeed Jim, including stabbing myself with the trusty Swan Mortonu, soon stopped bleeding , applied a dollop of CA !
That's kind about the cleaning up, of course now I'm injured I'm sorry to say I can't continue

Thanks for the kind comment keeps the mojo up, esp in a build like this that seems to go on and on .

Either I'm suffering from the recent heat or going through a tidy change but the tidying up has continued. This morning I cleared the bench , heavens knows If I'll find anything again.
More later.

Careful JR, this could develop into a very bad habit. Cheers, Rick H.

Carry on like that and I'm afraid there may be a mutiny Sir. You are supposed to be setting a good bad example for the rest of us!

Rick Hi , I'm afraid to say I have gone over to the tidy side. Yes after many years of complete mess I have seen the light.( Words from Christine ) .

Andy. There will have to be a mutiny and insurrection, of course this tidyness may only last a couple of days, so hold fire.

Men, those who are members of the Untidy Bench Club look away now.!!!
Jim will be pleased to see the improvements, Christine has inspected and gone to sit down and take tea






I have no defence My Lord.
Opon this he was promptly send down.

Personally give my self until the middle of next week

 

[JR]

Just the ammo for the gun .






So feel the day wasn't completely wasted moggling wise .

Evening John,,
I’ve had to do some catching up, seems I missed a few updates The broken windows look very good indeed....came out really nicely

I see you’ve had a tidy up....did you have to get a skip and a couple of lads in to shift all the excess ruski rubble from the den
I must say it doesn’t look right all prim and proper! But well done
It’s certainly looking a lot tidier than my kitchen table/bench....I’ll get in trouble for this

Hi Si , hope you and the tribe are all well . Thanks mate , yes I was somewhat sceptical as to whether it would work, but it did . No skip, but I've thrown away loads of old invoices and delivery notes, frightening when you think how much you have spent !
Considering how much room you are allowed I think you do extremely well.
I shall write to good lady and suggest she allows you another couple of ft ! , and the family eat in the hall way

I'm so sorry I have not been paying as much attention as I should mate. Computer went tits up last Monday and I have been spending most of my time sorting it out. Enough of the excuses lets have a look at what you have been doing

Hopefully you have managed to sort out the issues with the roof trusses/frames. The window frames are the DB's. The kids on the council estate where I was raised would be proud of the damage to the windows. They were great shots with the catapult back in the day

Your bench is so clean now the NHS will be giving you a call and using it as an operating theatre! My bench is still as bad as Chris's

Nice work on the ammo. Those crates are a beatch to put together so good luck with em

Keep up the great work mate. If possible an overall photo of where everything sits in place, would be nice. White envelope on its way to the usual safe deposit box next to Scotties

My bench is so messy the NHS are coming round to see if I've grown a new strain of super penicillin

 

[Lee Drennen]

Love the broken glass look John you are getting unbelievable my friend

 

[Deleted member 6559]

Using the kitchen table, I have to tidy up daily, but that doesn't mean a chaotic mess while I'm there. The shattered glass looks fantastic John - your enjoyment of the process shines through.

 

[JR]

Thank you all, I shall reply later .
Just for Steve who asked for a layout.
Far from finished, but gives an idea of what's what. Of course the gun is not ready to place and there fore I've left it off.



From in side the factory.











Think I've captured the wall exploding outwards as the tank smashes into it.
The poor Germans busy shelling won't know what's hit then.
