Spring must be in the air, or it's this wind effecting me Dude1.
If I hadn't spilt the ca then I wouldn't have got the new mat out !
Yes scratching the base, seems fun at the moment.
Jim may give me a temporary membership if I'm lucky :smiling::smiling::smiling3:.

Lee, thanks mate.
In fact your not far wrong, I used some paper to mop up quickly and the fumes nearly knocked me out . Yes I did stick my thumb and forefinger together as well , hot water soon cleared that .:smiling2:

Spent the day scratching building the load bed.

Using 1mm plastic card for the bed and .8 for the sides. Selection of plastic strip for the supports, a few pits of PE for hinges and catches .


Quite pleased as been able to use up that kit after I'd used the rocket system for another build.


Made two fuel tanks out of some spare bits.

Getting ready now for the wind, it's getting quite strong.
Comments welcome.

John .

Welcome to the dark side Mr Race! Stunning work on the scratchery. Will you be adding fuel lines underneath?

[Lee Drennen]

Dear Mr Race
Once again the membership committee of the TBC has been alerted to the state of you bench. A certain Mr A Dewire informed the committee that there had been significant progress and enclosed a photograph to substantiate his claim.
After much deliberation the committee voted 18 to1 against granting membership at this time although they did recognise the improvement made. If the current tidiness is maintained the committee will reconsider your membership of the TBC at the next full meeting in October. In the meantime we are sending you a copy of our newsletter entitled "The Tidy Bench and its place in history"
Yours

Thank you Mr Jones. I have to inform you that the full tanks are in modern terms c aonnected by WiFi. Suppose I could but as there is no engine either ! :upside::upside::upside:

Thanks Lee, I enjoyed making it.

Looking very good JR!

Sir, thank you for your letter re the TBC admission to the club .
I'm sorry that the committee felt that way, at least 18 to 1 is a worthwhile show of rejection.
I shall attempt again to apply in October and hopefully be successful.
