what's happening in my life...

The short answer is not a lot! Wife and myself are both trying to save money as hard as we can so we can still have our trip later this year, my weight is still up and down, but over all it's slowly coming down, today's weekend high was 129.05kg just need to try harder still.....

One of the things I have done it the last few days is to find and dust of two old projects of mine, the first one is a 1/72 scale flower class corvette. This is a plastic model made by Revell which I am building as a Radio controlled working model. Tonight I did the first little bit of work on it in over 2 years and it felt good to be doing it! I think if I got myself geared up I could get the whole fitted out and running in just a couple of weeks....

Anyway here's a couple of photo's of it, frist one is a side on view of the whole.




2nd photo is looking inside the whole at the possible fitting out arrangement for the motor.



The other model ship is a 1/200 scale model of the IJN Yamato battleship, O, you think at 1/200 it's smaller then the corvette? WRONG! it's about 1.35 meters long! again it's a plastic kit, but this one been designed to be made as a free sailing model, means there is less work involved in building it as a RC model. Here's a couple of photo's of the whole and decks...





Anyway I guess I'll leave the Yamato till after I have the Corvette finished and working OK, from time to time I'll post updates here on how the builds going!

Bye for now ;)
