Just seen this one Jim, so I’ve pulled up my chair to watch. A very good start and I really like the turtle.

Nice progress on the base Jim, I suspect it will take about a week to get your eyes fully uncrossed....by that time you should have a pretty good handle on this. LOL :smiling3: Rick H.

Thanks Guys, been busy last couple of days so no bench time, oh, those stones were murder alright.
Arthritis and sausage fingers didn't help matters but I knew I had to get them done or I could not
move on.
The turtle is a pip for sure.....think I'll name him Bear.

Thanks for watching,

Jim.

I like it! Straight from the 'Ron' school of modelling:- throw a few bits on a base and see what develops. Betcha you end up with summat real good Jim!

[Steve Jones]

Happy New Year Jim. Glad you are still cracking on with this dio. Looking good so far

[grumpa]

UPDATE:

Pretty much self explanatory at this point,
thanks for looking in.

Hey......what's all that white stuff?? 42 degrees here today and nothing white on the ground except me knickers!!! :tongue-out3: :tongue-out2::tongue-out:
BTW, where do you find all the wonderful debris that you scatter around....seems like it is something different in most cases.

Thank you Monica, it's gonna be a long haul on this one cuz time is so precious and I just can't
seem to shake the ankle bites of reality.

But you know me, all of a sudden a vignette will pop out when I get too ground down in
the minutia of a large build.
Shwaa de vee or something like that. :hugging-face:

White stuff?....oh you mean that wretched frozen blanket of Angel wing whiteness?
Actually this is our busiest time, the ground is frozen rock hard and even deep snows are no real obstacle.
Hate the muds of fall and spring, murder on man and machine.

So frustrating that my physical ailments keep me from full bore function, the cold and exertion are a no no for me now-a-days.
But the boys and their minions got a good handle on things.
I made it clear though, that I reserve all rights to be a pain in the ass.

Debris of which you speak are right under your nose...schnibbles from the bottom of the wood box.
Others who don't burn wood to survive can always go to the back yard garden or even the local park
( just watch where the dog walkers go, and don't go there!), and collect some appropriate chaff.

To get a finer consistency one could use the good old kitchen food processor, ( just make sure Mamma doesn't find out),
a couple of spins and you can achieve some decent "debris".

I wasn't sure of what I was looking at, but now I see you are using some of the best fire starting material there is. In your line of work it is probably more than abundant. I, on the other hand, need all I can get scrounged up after splitting and store it in empty milk crates for future use. :smiling2:

Rick, since you do burn wood just look at what you are sweeping up around the stove.

I"m not sure but did you guys get hit with a snowstorm?
You had mentioned your power was out.

Jim.

[Mini Me]

Hi Jim.......not snow but heavy wind .....came in out of the south west and took down some trees close to power lines and managed to clog Hwy. 93 for most of the day (on the other side of Flathead Lake) and trees down on this side as well but with no traffic stoppages.
Temp was 44f. just before power went out at 10:00am.

Coming along nicely Jim.
We have some snow too.

[Mini Me]

Like a Spring day here in NW Montana..........good to see there is Winter somewhere in the world. :smiling2:
