A few comments.
I am busy cleaning up the parts and unfortunately there are a number of faults to rectify.
The pictures tell you all.

I wonder how long their moulds last? It appears some of the mould is left in the axle hole on one of the wheels.

However bad it is -- it will not stop a man of your caliber - hohoho

Wonderful as ever.  HOW did you do the steering wheel?

The steering wheel is formed from a ring of solder, the arms are solder and the disc are from plastic card.
It is all superglued together.
I will do a demo sometime.

Hi Zak,
Please note your offer is duly noted in club annals.

PS. Did I say I was impressed....

Filling in the bad bits, and looking at the photo, a lot of air bubbles to be dealt with too.

The new cutting mat - especially for Chris.

Hi Dave/Zak,
(I'm never sure how to address members on the website, by their username or the actual name? Or does it matter?)
In any event, you certainly employ a FULL range of modelling skills and materials in your models.
Wonderful.
I look forward to your demo when we have our next Modelling Open Day at Cass Hall... something to look forward to when this awful pandemic is over.

BTW: Have you changed your photo?
Is it an 'old' photo or have you grown a beard since we last saw you?

I was not looking for a grey cutting mat - it matches the beard though.

[zak]

Bought it last week on line, I think I prefer green really.

Is that the beard or the cutting mat you're referring to.

I was thinking of showing "she who must be obeyed" your new beard but thought I better get some smelling salts ready first - make of that what you will -- hohoho

Is that a compliment or an insult?

Here is the Fordson Sussex Balloon winch, once again, it still needs mirrors. Why do I remember when I look at the photos?
Brain dead or what? (no, you don't need to comment Martin)

The balloon winch truck is looking good Dave. I am really impressed with your scratch building. Keep going.
