Armour Dreams

Quite a good day today, lots of bits tacked in ready for hopefully rolling the front of the hull on tomorrow.

progress, progress. Bending the radius on the nose of the hull was fun lots of leverage and heat, which was most welcome on a cold day. I gave it a coat of red primer to keep the surface rust at bay.

All ten suspension arms are now complete, apart from the wheel and locating arms which is my next job on the lathe.

Oh and I made a chocolate cake.

I bet the chocolate lab got it.

The dog didn't stand a chance, my son had most of it. Just a tip for all those making such a cake, if you put the chocolate eggs on when the topping chocolate is still warm, the inside goo of the egg dribbles over the top and down the sides of the cake. There's lovely.

I think your description of the dribbling goo and its effect is a little too graphic for those of us still under 18 years of age...

Still, seamlessly moving from tank bogie suspension arms to chocolate cake does demonstrate a certain diversity in skill sets!!
