Default At home hobbies....

Well I guess we will all have some time to fill in the house over the next while.
Time to look out the aircraft model kits again. I have a nice 1/48 scale Tornado F3 (RAF Leuchars 111 squadron) special marks and a cool but slightly large 1:32 Tornado GR4.

A few weeks there...


What is anyone else going to be filling their 'home' time with?


One I built earlier

Yes, plus carry out conversions. Do re-paints. Build anything from 1/76th through to 1/8th. Only work on cars, a few lorries and the occasion bus. Been a hobby for close on 60years now.

I've been fixing some Scalextric cars to sell as no longer wanted.
We have been trying to empty the house of stuff we no longer want, also cleaned and tidied our sons bedroom as he "moved out", done some diy in his room. Now to do a bit of diy in our daughters room... she moved out about 10 years ago. Doing a bit of maintenance and service on my saloon, ordered filters to service the Tourer. cleared the garage of some stiff but this is on going, bit of gardening and seed planting.

Lots of recorded stuff to watch, a fence to renew, more gardening to do. more house clearing to do, more diy to do. We will keep "busy"

refitting the sub frame washers I noticed the braces just behind are rusting so have removed them, one now shot blasted and I'm having a break then I'll do the other one but worse, I've found the rubber bush on the front nearside arm has given up so both bushes need changing. Once braces are done then I'll back car into garage and do those, then I'll look at rear sub frame washers
