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 . View attachment 616845

A quick reference to Derby Street shows that the area is Cheetham Hill, a quick reference to your post shows that it should be Cheat 'em Hill. Fashionwear? (Beers earned.)

That's the area. There may be a few legit businesses there, but quite a number of them seem to have been in our bad books as well as those of Manchester Trading Standards.

Anyhow, first driver of the day dealt with, coffee finally being drunk and paperwork about to be started for yesterday's exam.

My plastering yesterday was a steep learning curves ! Surfers will admire those undulations!
I discovered that I should have done the floor at the same time as a lot of cement landed there instead of the walls . It is a tight space that I was working in and I'm not used to doing that work . I was using a float and a plastic spreader, I'm used to putting body filler in . It was a case of scooping up some on the trowel slowly approaching the wall and then splat! It was back on the board on the floor !

Plastering is definitely an art!
I can do small areas, but that's it..

I'm off to the libraries after my coffee has been finished. The telephone boxes in Moulton and Overstone are the choices today.
