I modelled this RC helicopter ages back, but came across the model again recently and thought I’d pout into Vectary so that it could be viewed here:
The previous version was done using short straight edges to make up curves, the profiler noticed this and thought that this would show in the finished product, so I completely re-drew it in better software. Rather than AutoCAD I used OnShape, which is far more user friendly for doing this kind of thing.
I did this design for Alan, it’s in memory of his late grandfather. Left mouse button – move/rotate the camera positionRight mouse button – PanMiddle button – Press & move mouse forwards/backwards or roll – Zoom
We picked up a couple of plants from a local garden centre and planted the acer: I used some of the bark that had come off the rings which I collected some rings of a fallen tree at the cricket pitch. Those were the rings I picked up back in January of 2022.
I have finally made a new centre bit for the steering wheel. Just a wooden thing with a leather cover that jams into the opening and covers the retaining nut.
I bought some paint for the Land Rover. I wanted some Nato/olive green, this kind of colour: And I am pretty sure that was description on the eBay advert. In person and in good light it’s quite bright! Oh well, next time..
At long last we’ve gotten the kitchen tiling done. This is before and during: And then done: Also where we had a small patch of concrete floor exposed, we decided to have some fun and do a little mosaic using the tile samples we’d had. Just need to get some grout now and also stick on the new bit of skirting board that I gave a second coat of paint to last night.
My daughter’s heart is sad and blue,She misses them, as we all do,But I have a book to recommend,That may help her heart to mend. “The Hare Shaped Hole” is a tale,That speaks of loss and how we prevail,The story’s clever, and quite brilliant,A perfect lesson, it’s truly resilient. It tells us that the ripples we make,Will carry on, and never break,Though loved ones leave us here behind,Their stories stay with us in our mind. So read this book with your little one,And watch the healing slowly come,The memories you share will never fade,And in your hearts, they will be laid. I only wrote the gist of the above poem, I asked ChatGPT to make it rhyme.. brilliant book.
I had a sickle blade, which my father-in-law had kindly given me. I’d sharpened it sometime ago but then it had hung on a hook every since, until today, when I found the inspiration to put a handle on it. The sofa that gave the leather for a few of my previous projects also had some nice woody in it, this is a bit of that. It rremains to be seen how well the handle stays on. I just heated the tang up nice and hot then beat the handle on.
There is a WSP logo where the letters scramble up and remake again. People have it in their email signature.. So i thought id re-imagine it a little.
