The Waffling Wombat

[Old Wombat]

I've used Insignia White on the outside of the fuselage of the An-2 Colt & I now realise that it's too yellowish/creamy in tone, so I'll have to buy some white-white to go over it on Monday. 

Delays! Delays!

And a lot of them do a really good job!

Well, the SA Plastic Model Expo is over for another year & tomorrow it's back to the Real World. (Where's the crying emoji?  )

I'm still on Long Service Leave but tomorrow's "gardening day", then Tuesday is time to start completely emptying the shed, so I can;
- extreme-clean everything,
- seal the concrete floor with epoxy to moisture-proof it (lazy buggers who poured the concrete didn't bother to line under it with plastic sheet),
- insulate & panel the walls, & part of the roof (translucent roofing sheets let light in during the day, not good covering over them),
- paint it all,
- then put everything back (except all the ... junk ... I will have thrown into a skip bin to be rid of it).

Have to do that solo between now & the 4th of November, when I go back to work.

Modelling may not be a priority over that time ... Well, it will be but I won't be able to indulge much, & may be too exhausted, even if I do find time, to do anything.


Wish me luck!

That's quite a task list.  Were I not at the other end of the world, I'd offer to help.  As it is, all I can do is wish you the best of British and Commonwealth luck............you may need it!

[Rick Lowe]

Hope it goes well. 
Don't take silly risks or overdo it. We want a complete and healthy Wombat, thank you. 

[McColm]

Take care

Thanks, blokes! 

Today's gardening went well, so that's a positive start. 

Bit scared about tomorrow ... Over half the Wombat Stash is in that shed .... SWMBO may finally get an inkling of just how big it is!

What colour are you doing the shed floor?

I wanted to do mine, and the garage bright yellow to brighten them both up but I was persuaded otherwise.  I ended up using the lightest grey I could find.
In retrospect not the best idea as it is the same colour as a lot of kit styrene...

Medium grey, but I don't do model stuff in the shed. 

The walls & ceiling will be white/cream/similar.

Best of luck mate. I've just recently had a bit of a purge, which basicaly involved moving various piles of books and magazines around

My shed is also in need of a tidy. Maybe you can come over here and lend me a hand?

Not bloody likely! 

One day down & about a quarter of the floorspace cleared (There's the "mezzanine to do, too, though).
