Latest Acquisitions (2024)

Tworrs new studio/man cave/modelling room
I have used some old furniture to kit out the studio, which will no doubt change over time to something more user friendly. Shelving has started being installed, the local merchant ran out of brackets so I couldn't finish them. From the left - computer area, modelling area and art area, and... -
Tworrs new studio/man cave/modelling room
Here we are with the room the cleanest it will ever be, just for the record. :smiling2: Flooring is in, blind is installed over the window, and heater over the sliding door. All systems are GO!! -
Tworrs new studio/man cave/modelling room
Sorry for the lack of updates. Good progress has been made though and I'm on the home straight now. I don't have sufficient floor tiles left over from previous jobs, so the hunt is on to find another matching box to complete the floor. Otherwise there might have to be some decorative intermixing... -
Ok other hobbies, erm?
After years of action type pursuits like motorcycle enduro racing and scuba diving I have had to tame my ambitions somewhat, as we all have to as we age. I've been trying a little oil painting lately.- Tworrs

Tworrs new studio/man cave/modelling room
As I had mentioned once before, I am having a new studio built in which the man of the house (me) gets to do the things HE wants without interference (he says hopefully) from other persons, who for reasons of safety (mine), shall remain anonymous. The plan is to have an area for modelling and an... -

GerryW's figures et al
Back in February GerryW and I were in discussion about a bunch of 1/72 figures and other modelling bits that he and his boys had going spare, which I said I would really like to have. Gerry in his generosity said I could have them all for the cost of postage, to which I readily agree. Sadly... -

Surgery is scheduled - now completed
Just to let you all know that I have been notified that my AAA (abdominal aortic aneurism) repair operation will take place on Thursday 20th July, which is a lot quicker than I expected. While I am excited to get it over and done with, I am a little nervous at the same time, as it's a pretty big... -
