Spring Bash 4th and 5th May 2024

[Segata]

Been sprayng and sleeping wierd again, hopefully just a bit of detailing touches and I'll clear coat the Black Widow, need some leather or pleather for the brace but typical me I've misplaced the bag with it in, worst case I'll get an appropiate coloured Handbag from a charity shop or something to cull for the cause, Plastic ones still in place currently and don't strictly need one anyway so wont stop it being banded and used though.

The current Mrs Clogger doesn't fancy spending our 40th wedding anniversary weekend with me at the Bash

There's a very nice restaurant nearby at the "tap and run." The manager is a really nice chap.

Is it because the sales thread has sprung into life?

Ah, could be.

Nice one, Pete & Co.

Looking like there will be a good selection of rifles and accessories available with, no doubt, even more to come.......

Woke up feeling like I fought with a large truck this morning but still here, did details and the Metal flake on the Black Widow and it looked quite good so hopefully stayed that way when I go check it for clear coating shortly, not looking like I'll be visiting the Sales table this Bash though as Sales are slow, that said still no lift so maybe no Bash for me either.

[TonyL]

Sorry to hear you're not feeling so well. But great that you can carry on fettling, which must be a big help and distraction. Hope you can get to The Bash.

[Segata]

I do hope so too, in a reasonable mood as I'm liking the way the paints turned out, just a few more clear coats to go before it's ready to show although it will be sat a good week or so before any proper handleing to let things fully harden, not that I've the bands to hand yet or brace material anyway.
There is acctually a trick I can do if I ever make a Dr Pepper or Coca Cola one, using an iron and an appropiate backing I can create a pleather using bottle lables, I had a wallet made of it as a Birthday gift years ago and loved it so I've saved some lables to make one and other things again, no good for this one though unless they were 90s Labels as you'll see why when you see the paint.

Brought a A5 sample of a Dark Red pleather so hopefully does the job, found more denim but not the Leather and pleather when searching upstairs so decided it was time to just buy it instead.

From what I've heard, that sounds somewhat the MO of modern dating
