    Thank you Dudders, as you say, we all have to take care but the isolation is a necessary evil. We have tickets and ferries booked, but will decide later whether to chance it. Rich

    What’s the situation in your Department Dudders? Do you think things will have stabilised enough to host several hundred thousand “Down Sarthe” in September? Rich.

    Glad you managed to get out a celebrate, congratulations to you both. We are still under fairly strict control, unless you want to go into our lovely city to demonstrate with your spray can, then it’s Rafferty’s rules. Rich

    A beautifully restored example, obviously someone’s pride and joy. I seem to remember the London ones, at least, had rubber front wings which would make the finish matt. Similar to the colour of the rear mudguards in this picture. Rich

    Weren’t they supposed to put it all back in after examining it?

    It went together fairly easily, I had to straighten one of the sides in warm water. Used superglue on a fine stitck to join it . Underframe is one piece but needed a lit of flash cleaning out. It sits straight and level and runs evenly. No problems. Rich

    They’re the ones. A little more expensive than your average kit, but you get everything you need , wheels , couplings, wire for Hand rails etc. Usual disclaimer, just enjoyed making it. Rich

    Smallbrook Studios do a nice resin one, made up really nicely but, as usual, I can’t get my pictures to load on here. Rich

    I always understood there was a less draughty way round. They’ve only got a door at one end. Rich

    What is confusing is that half the clientele of a “petrol station” only go there to buy fags or milk. B.A. Humbug

    It’s amazing how much time and effort can be saved by making up a simple jig or gauge for any job. Even a spacer behind hand rails makes a neater finish , a bit like frenching all the screw heads on light switches or door hinges. Costs nothing, just looks right. Rich

    We’ve had mason bees for two months but our leaf cutters don’t start until mid June. A. P. Ariste

    A pair of bogie smugglers eh? Just when the weather has turned. Great job on the little Arthur though. Rich

    If it worked for Bugatti and Porsche , why not?

    There’s no point getting old if you don’t get crafty! Bet you don’t get ferocious rivet counters round your way? Still, it’s like painting the inside of a signal box, you know it’s right even if no one else ever sees it. Rich

    I think, as a species, sharks have survived worst things than Covid19 . I wouldn’t worry about their health. Rich

    I made up a Keyes kit in the Eighties, the linings nothing special, but I enjoyed myself.

    Judging by the pictures of the average Naval planes, I wouldn’t think performance came into it! Great idea though. My late father was at Mountbatten about 1940, got posted to Glasgow, but that’s another story. Stay safe, Rich

    Surely, won’t the seaplane sink?

    There’s probably a 3ft radius curve involved somewhere, it’s just something some of us have to live with. Great work resurrecting two old dogs, they’ll do fine. Rich

    If a dirty Mogul doesn’t do it, nothing will. Great to see it back Rob. Rich

    Compared to the chock-block ends of my wire-in-tube efforts sticking out of the fascia, that’s a bloody masterpiece! Chapeau.

    Third from the left looks particularly chapeauliarly challenged. The rest look french t![$ Rich

    Yet another rabbit hole to disappear down, is there a corporate design for the wavy line dividing the brown/stone paint on the columns? Rich
  25. Ashley Bridge
    Play nicely, you two! Obviously he’s busy self-isolating, or maybe , like me, cannot get his mate to come round and sort out all the scary tekkie bits . Rich
