Not about the model this time - but after an abscence of several months, I thought an explanation was due!

Health issues had taken their toll in early spring & summer but are (hopefully behind me now). One highlight was the help given by my accountant (who's the daughter of a modeller!) as a result of which a very nice cheque arrived from the taxman. I was contemplating a 3D printer but HMC's generosity did not run that far. Therefore I decided to refurbish the workshop (or 'studio' as my accountant insists!), the development of which is also tax-deductable. More importantly re-organisation would enable modelling to re-commence (both commercial & private!).

Why?

Well, there was the workdesk for a start, and

the rest of the room was not much better!

A visit to a national DIY retailer and production of a business card resulted in a traders discount card, and an hour later

the trusty 'Picasso' was loaded to the gunwhales (literally the rear arches were rubbing on the tyres....

First thing was to virtually empty the room then

relay the floor... (An Xmas present from my wife)

and then various kitchen units were added.

The result?? Mens sana in corporate sano. Or something like that!

five days hard work, but now it's back to the modelling - IF I can find any of the projects!
