  15. Not much modelling this week - the house modifications/chopping wood for the stove ahead of the expected cold snap/building shelvcews & decorating are all co-conspirators. However I did spend part of today playing with my new camera - Nikon D3200 +toys... All courtesy of my home insurance following the theft of my previous rig! Thanks 'Aviva' for great no quibble service!

  16. Taking a couple of hours off from modelling - playing with my new Kindle 'Fire' which finally arrived today. RMWeb on the move at last!

  21. 'I'm Back'! Many thanks for all your kind wishes.. Neil - I did try to 'tap him up' for a few blades but he uses different ones.. Coachmann - app arently 'up n coming' technology will not need replacement - it will be treatred like a stent, inserted via an artery into the heart & work off the body's own electrical system . All I'VE got to do is to live long enough to have one! Right back to the 'Challenge' tommorrow.
