RIP Martin a true friend and a great model builder.

Lobey Dosser his trusty two legged horse El Fideldo and his arch enemy Rank Bajin

Due to the new gaffer where I used to work frowning on homers , I purchased the wood pack from Sarik which arrived this afternoon its really nice wood and well cut , it consists of the keel, frames and deck (photos to follow)this is a Chine hulled tug and was fortunate when clearing out my late mothers house up the loft (attic) were a few old plywood tea chests in the need of some t.l.c .

Hi HappyHaggis ,
You may see from my wee picture that I reside in that windswept and interesting country Scotland , I was off site for quite a while with health problems but hopefully back with a bang or at least a little pop.

Hi Fred , many moons ago before I retired I managed workshops at a university I'm going to pop in and see if they would be kind enough to laser cut it for me ,if not I'll go back and get the wood pack saying that the cost of ply and the wee bottle of Amber nectar i'm going to use as an inducement (bribe) the wood pack May work out cheaper.
Cheers Marky👍

sorry its been a while ,more time than I care to recall, with any luck my health issues are calming down and I can get back into the workshop and after giving it a Good clean out (beware all you slumbering spiders)get a new project on the go.
The new project is going to be a TID tug with Santa 🎅 (wife) supplying the drawings from Sarik hobbies ,Once the project is up and running I will put up a build log hopefully not to interrupted by health nonsense.

Hi, Nerys.
I just caught my thumb on a rose bush the next thing my hand looked like a blown up rubber glove 😭 due to my immune system being dodgy at the time ,all better now though and only a few treatments to go with the numbers starting to go in the right direction .
Are you keeping well? And did you get your mobile command centre finished?
Cheers Marky

Sorry about the long delay in replying, just after reporting back for duty I caught a bit of a infection would you believe from a rose thorn ,so back into hospital for more pandering. That's me up and about again avoiding anything sharp , quite hard to do things wrapped up in bubble wrap 🤣🤣, have been giving the workshop a bit of a much needed clean ready for the next project.
Hope everyone is keeping well .
Cheers Marky
