Dilapidated but working just and that is just like me!

 Out with Mrs. Woody for a drive out and some lunch as it was her birthday I could not help but appreciate the day not only for Mrs. W's special day but because despite being mid October it was a stunning day weatherwise!

What cloud there was had something special about it and which I can remember being taught about at school!

Dropping in on Wymondham Windmill I took, what for me is a good photo - well I think anyway! Love that mackerel sky which according to Google consists of multiple rows of cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds in an undulating, rippling pattern resembling fish scales - just as I recall from my school days!

That cloud was still about as we ended up at Whissendine windmill. 

It is a working windmill despite two of its sails having been taken off and laying in the yard presumably waiting repairs. It would certainly make an interesting model to build - dilapidated but working just and that is just like me!

There is that Mackerel Sky again.

You can go inside and wander about and when we were there it was grinding floor which is for sale at £5.50 a kilo.

There is obviously a lot of history to the mill and when we have some more time we will come back. Mrs W was ready for her birthday lunch which was much enjoyed at....

Looking sinisterly almost somewhat mushroom in shape I can only presume that it is a man made cloud from a fire or similar or as Mrs. W enquired, did I leave the cooker on?

With things a little warmer and the Man cave warmed with the heater on it was time to add some paint to the Italeri Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4 engine and gearbox as well as the other associated parts. As described before a black undercoat was applied. Once dry, this will be the ideal colour to overpaint with the required aluminium coloured paint.

Whilst I am waiting for the undercoat to dry I got back to some kit construction with the front steering beam axle. 

Not too complex, just a few fiddly parts and I had to watch where the glue went as the stub axles turn so you can pose the wheels. As you can imagine, once this kit is built I will be sitting on the floor pushing it along going 'broom, broom' so steering is important! Now that would draw a comment from Mrs. Woody!

What did bring comment from Mrs. W. was the rather strange looking sky as we drove back from the Rocks By rail Members Day.
