Crashed and bashed!

Crashed and bashed today and I am not talking about some new weathering technique on the Airfix Stolly build! It is me who is crashed and bashed having come off my bike on a corner in the rain. I just know that the front wheel slid out and before I knew it I was on the ground looking at the lady in the car following me who must have had more of a shock than me! Amazingly no bones broken, no ripped clothing and minimal damage to the bike. I seem to have taken the main damage with gravel rash and a very sore left hip and shoulder which will heal whereas any damage to the bike won't heal! Anyway, after a minute or two I was back on the bike and continued home to present my bloodied self to Mrs. Woody who said not to make a mess!

Right, crash or not, work on the Stolly continues with the interior of the cab masked in readiness for painting.

It was then attached to the cab base before the joints were flooded with glue.

I will need to fill the joints but there is nothing too serious unlike my body joints at the moment!
