Wow, that's impressive! Like many people, I always forgot to paint the pilot.

The urge to purchase online is great during these times!

Treated myself to a new office chair and some prints for the wall. Figured I’m spending hours in there at the moment and probably will be for a bit longer

I've cycled and rowed over 400km in the past month without leaving my back garden.
Was hoping to do some woodwork but wife and son are working so I am also on all cooking and cleaning duties. When I do slope off, someone comes and asks a "where's this/have we got a/what do we do?" question...

Thanks anyhow.

I can’t find anyone down here who is both open and not mega pricey.

So for those in the know about the cultural importance of today, May 4th, (think about it) you will also know that this is a model of a Jedi star fighter. Homeschooling art project was some flim flam so we improvised and built a flying rc Jedi star fighter for ‘art’ school work.
Built from 6 mm depron and featuring tailerons it should fly ok as it’s a basic wing and has a thrust to weight ratio greater than one. Little electric pusher prop and a 1000 mah battery.

Cheers

The casual build of my Supermarine 6 continues.
Getting parts has been problematical, but getting there.

Airframe all covered in ancient tissue from Japan and care fully doped using water based dope very diluted and multiple coats until sealed. Still trying to keep weight down.

The motor, speed controller battery and prop now read to install now that the flight surfaces are all linked to the micro servos.

Mounting the prop to the moor and to the spinner is the next micro challenge, these parts are very small.

After too much faffing about, finally got the Supermarine 6 finished, all working, and now hung up for a CV-free sunny day.

Small planes are hard to build, so thinking of a smaller one still next.

Hi!
Kitchen ongoing to be replaced in our house, so at this moment we cook and have all our meals in the garage, I use the lift as my workstation (good for the back to stay up) and today the new kitchen arrived :cheers: Not so much space left and.......
...... the problem is that I´m not ready to install the new kitchen :bounce:

Rgds,
Andreas
