Good to hear it wasn't covid and I hope they have the cancer meds sorted out now and you won't have anymore problems, or if there is any more problems, that they are only minor. |

Well I have done more cleaning as well in the hobby shed. Evicted some mice and carpenter ants. The ants were a worry. I tried to kill them twice but they would just shift somewhere else in the shed. Eventually I found them because of the noise they were making. Yes .... NOISE  Worse,.... they were living in my 1/350 New Jersey box. AARRggh !Surprisingly they didn't destroy anything. I have been working on my U Boat more than the Endeavor. I have some molding silicon coming so I can mold extra parts. Never done that before , could be interesting. Could also be a mess |

My U boot was covered in dust and parts in different containers. It was a mission just to collate it all together. I found tools that had been left in the kit as well as parts I bought for it (Extra's) that I forgot I had. I got the right paints before the mob that made them stopped. Working on the engine room and torpedo room. I have been watching a few video tutorials on model making ( mostly painting) As I would like to improve my skills. |

Painting is the one thing I don't like doing, it would be nice if it didn't have any smell!

Painting. It's where you can make or break a model. I have found a lot of helpful youtube video's to improve my painting skills.The internet has made self learning easier. The smell of thinners leaves a lot to be improved. Maybe burn an incense stick .The smell of plastic glue takes me back to when I was a kid.  I am finishing off some models that are mostly done. I will have a look to see where to post some pics. |

I have glued down the base for the light hatch and will paint inside to hide the join. I have other projects that I will post in the appropriate sub - folders.  |
