JOCKNEY Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hi @Dean Whiston Any chance of some pictures of the new bathroom, and perhaps you could sneak the Renault into one of the pictures ? Cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pat Unfortunately I have neither ☹️ day 1 of the bathroom renovation lead to 2 cracked ribs after slipping in the bath whilst installing the new taps - progress has therefore been somewhat slower than planned😳 I finally managed to get some modelling done yesterday on the Arado - I think the Vivastella will miss the deadline now but still hoping to get the other 2 done 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Get well soon Dean. Will Mrs Whiston be bringing in tea and toast to you while you sit up in bed with the modelling tray on your lap ? Cheers Pat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pat 😆 not a chance - ibuprofen and take things a bit slower with the bathroom (and plenty of wine in the evenings to soothe the ache !) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Whiston Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 With the Arado and La Reale done I’m back on this one - not sure I’ll get it done by the deadline but I’ll give it a go. Tonight I have therefore been mainly painting cream and chocolate- the cream is done bar a bit of touching up the chocolate will need a couple more coats 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Congratulations Dean it looks really sharp. The colour scheme reminds me of the MG works rally cars of the 1930's they were called the "The Cream Crackers" Cheers Pat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
