Hair Bear Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) I remember (just!) being on my way to school along Albert Street and seeing the sparkly new lime green rigid FC dumper being driven out of what I believe was the design shop behind the original offices in Upper Street.

James Joe Dewar Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 The amount of detail in this little screen grab speaks volumes to me, I could never even cut a straight line in Plasticard never mind making door handles ang hinges, I could knock that up in CAD, but it would be far to fine for my printer to print, hat's off to you John. Regards Joe 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Joe Thank you Joe, I really appreciate that. I’ve said before that I’m my own worst enemy as if there’s detail there I like to try and incorporate it into a model, even though most of the time the only person that sees it is me! I do know I’d be lost now without my glasses and my tweezers mind😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Joe Dewar Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Ah yes, the ravages of old age, I can sympathise on that, I have those problems myself edgeing close to my 70th year, I was wanting to comment on the incredible texture you achieved on your big bales, but could not find the picture I saw the other week so couldn't comment, ( in case it wasn't actually you ), Regards Joe.

I’m a good way behind you Joe, but it definitely feels like everything is heading the wrong way now🙈 I did put some pictures with bales up recently, not sure if these were what you were thinking of 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how to do links, but I’m sure if you do a search it should come up as James did a detailed topic on it👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
