So what have they sent me?

Lots of packaging that you don't need?

If you mean me, it isn't that exciting: I buy sheets of thin plastic to make models like this from. I turns out that on this occasion I accidentally ordered my 0.5mm and 0.3mm sheets in sizes big enough to fill the box.

Also some brass rod, which they managed to bend, and pencil leads for my clicky pencils, and binders for the bale of paperwork I'm about to get hit by when I start work...

A mundane hut has to belong on here, Andy...

I've got a ball bearing on my kitchen worktop. I think it must have come out of my grandson's front wheel.

It probably is but I've no calipers to measure it with. I'm pretty sure it's the same size as the ones in his wheel though.

As part of my recent daily isolation routine, I get sent whatsapp videos of the g-kids. Today, I was sent one of g-son doing wheelies on the patio. I doubt the front wheel came more than an inch off the ground but, hey, you've got to start somewhere....

I've got some calipers, if that helps.

Ok, what size is it then?

(The banana's there to give you a better idea of scale.)

 

[deptfordmarmoset]

Right, why didn't anyone tell me it was well past beer o'clock?

No longer down South it seems. Nor the UK!

5/64"

Maybe, but I should have said that it was a metric banana so you might have got the scale all out.

Which leg is the wheel bolted to?

The front foot, obviously.
