WAG (Wild A$$ Guess)

Blenheim made into a Bv-141 -alike?  ;)

All i'll say is its more subtle than that Rick.


Hmmm... intriguing...

Ah well, time will tell and we'll all be able to 'Ooh' and 'Ahh'  at the appropriate juncture.

THAT'S a good idea! Maybe even better using a Hampden to start off with...............  ;)

Oh, don't worry - I'm full of Good Ideas... sometimes I even take my own advice... after the usual 'teething troubles'...
Sadly, execution or lack of time usually lets me down. ;D

However, it's less expensive to say "Ta-tah!" to the girlfriend than it is the wife. ;)

Another uninvited attic guest found dead today.  Plus we can smell another body rotting in the back yard but can't find it yet.
The poison they used apparently causes them to leave where they are living to find water.  Thus avoiding death smell in the roof (or in the walls or in the heating ducts in previous cases).

Not much modelling time (took the dog to the vet - check up and chat with behaviouralist) but I did get some paint on the SVD flower.

Latest '60 Chevy completed today.  I had to remove and remount the rear suspension as I had managed to attach it wonky.  This in turn meant that I had to remove and reattach one of the front wheels in order to get all four on the floor.
I'll take some beauty pics tomorrow.

Thanks.  It's sort of vaguely lily inspired.

Madame R (a retired research botanist) asks me to pass on my  congratulations on the lily, to which I add my own plaudits!

Lilly is cool!!! How 'bout that???   

the '60 is fantastic. I love the styling of those models....  however many years they were around.... The work you did in the bed is kickass! Fancy mirrors....   ;)   

I remember switching out a transmission in one..... it was... so EASY!  ;D    The hilarious part, though? My buddy didn't realize that it was the rear end that was actually out... so.... we more than likely took out a perfectly good transmission, put in a rebuilt one, and arrived exactly back at zero and then had to do the rear-end.  ;D
