SORRY SORRY SORRY!

Its been a hectic few months with the move and juggling two jobs. Although I am happy to say that I feel settled enough to let go of the second evening job (mcDonalds). This will give me much more time and energy to get things completed that I've had to put off for what, three months?

Im celebrating my new-found time off by spending the holiday weekend at my neglected workbench!

I had to clean off quite the collection of spider webs...

Here's an example of the sort of creepy-crawlies which moved in while I was absent. I spotted a HUGE wolf spider but was unable to catch it...no pics, but that bugger was easily half the length of a hobby knife!! :stinky:

Spider! One of the things I am afraid to death of! No modelling when a spider is in the same room / appartment!

That spider looks awful. I am glad we do not have such large ones overhere.

The helmet looks good. I never saw these kits but this is an interesting variation.
