I have had to lock the fridge. The pie was made from bits that would have been thrown away from the local shops, for the food bank tomorrow.

You don't feel it'd be safe left unlocked!

Good news!

The parts for the Higman's rear wing are finished.

Want to guess how many pieces I needed in the end?

79 actually used.

btw @Reynard , regarding the decals, have you thought of scanning them and having them colour printed on paper which can be put on the car and varnished? Do they exist anywhere online?

Alas not.

So I'm working from 37 year old photos, none of which are any great shakes in terms of quality. Therefore I'm going to have to do this the old fashioned way.

Edited to add that I suppose I could do this in Photoshop, but as I'd be starting totally from scratch anyway, it's probably far less faff to just paint / ink the sponsors' logos onto the car. Fortunately the actual paint job itself is relatively simple - black below the waterline, then yellow, a white cab and a red roof with the National Champion's stripes on it.

@deptfordmarmoset is still the closest.
