I have just done something stupid, I applied for a full time job as an Employability Tutor and had the interview this afternoon, one hour latter they called me back and offered me the job starting next week, so I had better get a move on with this build.

Ah, I see your dilemma; more money for kits, less time to build them.......terrible!

Lovely work on this Splash, both the paintwork and the electronic gizmology. Well done with the job too.

As I suspected the new job is going to remove all my bench time for the next couple of weeks or more :shock: , I will still try to finish this build as I need my bench time to stop me removing my marbles :roll:

Their wont be any bench time this weekend, as I have to plan and pre pair myself for delivering a week long training package starting on Monday.

They are not easing you into it are they Splash?

Hope you can finish your build off in time as it looks like being a real gem. If you need an extension let me know.

Building presentations from scratch can be time consuming in the extreme.....but, once you've delivered them a couple of times and tweaked them a little bit each time, they just need keeping up to date from time to time so it does get better!

The new job is going well, it's just a case of teaching the same subject that I have been teaching for the last four years, just using different course material and paperwork.

Tonight I have stuck down the roof and checked all the LED's are working, so progress should be quicker now.

Gray work Alan; the lighting makes the internal detail worth the effort!
How's the teaching going?
