Bored in lockdown

So on the strength of Annette doing her oil painting she’s inspired Sue to try.
A couple of hers attached, also I‘ve always been into model makingand several years ago bought a couple of these for those long winter evenings, but as you know always spent in the bar.
so 6 weeks on and a few hours every day ‘ear we are( oh, made out of individual matchsticks !
to scale it’s about 2 foot plus in length and about a foot high at the peak, so God knows where it’s going !!!

Nettie says it's a very good job.. which has obviously taken a lot of time & patience..! Well done Sue..! And as for your Fire engine... Very good but you forgot the doors..!!

I’ve been busy too what with the new workshop new kitchen and two new bathroom refits I’ve also made time to paint my GS
The last time I ever picked up a paint brush was 40+ yrs ago at school.

The first picture is really good, but the other two are really life-like

Really good on both accounts
Sadly I am crap at painting or anything artistic so will stick to taking photos of sunshine to annoy everyone

I can't draw at all except for money out the bank which I seem all to good at, I am in awe of you talented guys I do like Malcs replica of the fire engine he used to drive as well

Just one drawback though

A wooden fire engine?
Made from match sticks
Wouldn’t be the best material to use on the real thing.
Not if the firemen went on “STRIKE”

Yeah. Seems like an oxymoron; a fire engine made out of matchsticks!!
