didn't make the walk to the shops. We're on a slight hill, and as soon as I started walking down the hill, my muscles went into spasm on my dodgy leg. Hobbled back and drove. MrsF walked and met me there. Parcel dropped off for return, coffee purchased and pasties bought. Also collected some essential bananas, apples and wine ! Hobbled back to the car and my leg is about to explode.

Oh and couldn't find a plug, the hardware shop was shut (bit worried there as it's always open) and the 'bargain' shop had none left.

Rode through flood that reached recumbent seat (oops). Got very cold wet bum and surprised I managed to get to end of flood. Headed home after that for hot shower. Now enjoying cup of green tea.

Occasionally sunny, mild and very breezy here chez Casa Reynard.

Busy morning. Did a load of laundry, topped up the wood bins in the house, split a large bin of logs and the crock pot is locked and loaded with a beef ragu for tonight's bolognese pasta bake.

Lunch shortly.

I still have some stuff to do outside that I don't want to be doing at the weekend. And then I shall have some quiet time and raise a mug of tea to someone who I am missing very much. It would have been his 52nd birthday today, and ordinarily I'd travel down to just outside Winchester to visit his grave, but thanks to lockdown, I'm stuck here at home feeling somewhat maudlin.

Is the chassis built like a ladder ?
Back in pre 70's days kids progressed from making plastic kits on to balsa kits or plywood models depending if they flew or floated. Some more experienced kids might then progress on to buying plans and building up a model from those .
Seeing just a set of plans at first was very daunting but would soon take shape .
A lot of the model would be made in sections directly over the plan using pins to hold the pieces which were placed on a flat board with either wax or plastic film to prevent the parts from sticking to the plans .

Parts of it are. But the central bit is one solid section, which will add rigidity to the model. Also to cover the fact I don't quite have enough information about the construction other than the dimensions and separation of the main chassis rails.

What you describe is essentially the road I'm taking - making detailed plans, from which I can create templates for the individual parts. Am looking at using a mix of plywood, fibreboard, glue-laminated card plus wire and assorted metal gubbins that I have knocking around in the garage.

It felt a bit like that as I wondered if it got deeper

I needed an adapter to connect the separate microphone to the camera so that both can then connect with one cable from the camera to the laptop (laptop has only one USB-C socket and cannot use the headphone/mic jack as that prevents me hearing any sound through the speakers). Wasn't sure which adapter I needed so ordered the two most likely from eBay (a couple of pounds each so worth it) and both arrived today. Tried one, no go; tried the other, perfect!

To quote Hannibal Smith, "I love it when a plan comes together!"

Garden stuff done.

Time for a and a chocolate cake bar thingy.
