Christmas Present

I was so lucky to get another WW1 tank as a present for Christmas.

And, in a complete break with her normal stance on these things, my dear lady wife has said I can build this one in the warmth and comfort of our dining room...

As you can see, I've made a start sorting out the pieces I need for the first steps.

No doubt I'll be asking for advice when I find a piece which doesn't seem to fit anywhere... :lol: :lol: :lol:

When we meet new friends, my dear wife always tells them I build models....and then adds.....at least I know where he is, and it keeps him out of the Pub. :roll: Enjoy the build Adrian.....Mick

Progress has been made on my current 'build':

Having the grandkids over during the festivities has been a help, as the eldest seems to like jigsaws, and has exceptional eyesight :shock:

And it turns out that the dear lady wife, whilst being ambivalent towards tanks in general :cry: enjoys jigsaws :D
