You could make a video of constructing the Grampus kits, Andy.  I'm enjoying what you do, that would interest me. All the Best, Trevor

Yes,  Cheers Trevor, I had thought of that, and it would take more than the 15 minutes so would have to be very short clips, or spread over 2 or 3 Videos. I will have to give it some thoughts.

Yes, your Right Martin, I will certainly have a think about what you have said, and then have a think about getting them out, and then have a think about making a start in a few weeks.

 

I opened the lid on a box a couple of weeks ago, and it was like seeing a big SPIDER in the Box, so I slammed the lid back on pretty dammed quick.

Could you film it as you construct it, then edit it down to the key sections (removing any repetition where the same thing has to be done multiple times for different axle boxes for example) and get it to the 10-15 minutes mark?

Yes Rich, I would also need to cut out the swearing, the bits where I stick bits on the wrong way round, and the bits where I stick my fingers together, so that alone would save a few hours of the final cut.

It would take much longer videoing it for others because you have to ensure they see it all. Bit like a driving test where you cannot just flick your eyes to the mirror you have to make sure the tester knows you have looked in the mirror. I reckon folks would enjoy it though.

Morning Don, Yes, there has to be a compromise between showing enough and not getting boring and people switching off. A happy balance of time and information.

I see there's some rust coming through on the front wings again Bill.
