reached a conclusion today Mark—— me and sewing machines are non compatible!
I threw in the towel and found alternative methods of covering the Roller seats.Attachment 464370

They look great!

All done bar the spare wheel cover—— I’m dithering like an old washerwoman on how to make a leather cover! I’ve done a cut out, so I’ll just sleep on it—- the answer always comes when I’m sleepin.

This is the offending item I still have to conquer!
Have considered the “”THE HAIRNET APPROACH “ —- will certainly give it a try until something better comes along!

Whoa—— hold up a little there Pilgrim—— besides being in a lock down even more severe than the UK’S ever knew how to be——— methinks it’s Mark Rathermel who should be asking that question!

Remember, we’d got as far as the two nuns from the adjacent Santa Marguerite Convent — looked over the wall —— espied Murphy’s dismembered tallywhacker !!!!!! It was left at ——- Oh, Holy mother of God Sister Callie !!!! Look what they just did ???????? — ——— ———-

Its the way I tell ‘em Mark!!!!
Tomorrow should see the finish of the John Paul Getty Rolls-Royce—— Klondike—-
This will be the last of the first series—— Rich Luhrs has the very first one—- was part of a commission to do a trophy for him to present at the Florida Vintage Raceboat Club.
Never thought I’d be doing a dozen of them though!
Will post a piccie tomorrow if it all comes to a satisfactory conclusion!.

There I was—- waiting for the fat lady when someone sends me this, with a request!
Apparently it’s an American made Silver Ghost out of the ROLLS-ROYCE FACTORY IN SPRINGFIELD MASSACHUSETTS!
Where else would they paint a roller, fire engine red?

[jackiewilson]

To be honest, I’m sick to my tits of Rollers at the minute——- been doing them for a couple of years .
Need a new project—— something new and exciting!!!
Last really exciting thing I did was ten years ago——- the “Cathedral at Bouzigues “ —-

There is only a beautiful old church in Bouzigues—— so I made a Cathedral. Made it out of White rock from Carrera——— Brazilian Mahogany and aluminium scrap from the metalworks in the village. Problem was, it’s too radical. Nobody wanted it.
So, it’s been sitting on the bedroom window sill —— reminding me of the time I spent in Bouzigues!

The gun rack reminds me of pickup trucks in the southern states of USA.
They are mounted inside the cab, behind the occupants.
But those racks could only hold 2 or 3 shotguns or rifles.
