Very high tide today. Looking forward to seeing the photos of sea spray I did on my posh camera. I have discovered I can get a gizmo that lets me put photos from posh camera on to my phone too! What an age of wonder we live in!
 
Work has been progressing slowly on my model. I have been crudely cutting out the front suspension wishbones out of ply wood with a Stanley knife and they require quite a bit of sanding afterwards. I discovered I had made a bit of a mistake in the shape of the body after fitting the Halo and cockpit section. They should blend into the bodywork. I have now let in two pieces of balsa which will have to be blended in . It is hard trying to find all of the pictures which show me what I'm making from the required angle .

If you accidently press "ctrl" instead of shift, and your sentence begins with I (first person pronoun) then everything is tryped in italics. Press ctrl and i again, and it should go back to "normal".
