Ikea joy

Well we all know what IKEA is like. I’ve now finished the first two and the Chancellor of the Exchequer has given the ok for a third one. Whilst it will be good when finished they are a pain to put together. They also produce a shit tonne of paper and cardboard.

Filled a whole recycling bin !

Washing day

Leave a comment

Yesterday was washing day for the Raumer. I’ve also prepped for the undercoat with 72 days of Blutack to put the pads on when I do the spraying.

I’ve gone Dotty !

This is my old display cabinet which will be replaced by 2 IKEA cabinets soon when I can do the assembly amidst the usual blue air.

I’m up to scratch building grab handles/steps and yes everything you see in the photo below is essential to the process including the syringe needles. Not shown is the blue air when I accidentally stab myself!

And More !

I’ve started on the cleanup process. As of tonight 20 down and 52 to go. Yes that it is 2 rows of 10 on the top. And yes very OCD of me!

Nearly completed to be ready to paint

More work today and so mainly the pads left to clean up.

The underside steering mechanism is finished.

The wheels had lots of attachment points but as they will be hidden under the pads only a basic clean up was necessary.
The last cleanup items. The top ones are the undercarriage attachment points with a bit of Milliput on them. The bottom is one of the two sprues of pads.
