Almost time to plant all the seedlings I've had in the living room for months. The tomatoes are over a foot high already, but the weather just hasn't been there yet. Once it starts, I'll have plenty to do for a while.

I'm working on five historical book recreations, making three dresses, and one skirt.

Mostly, I'm just cooking and baking, though. :blush:

Those are relaxing and productive projects! :) I have a sewing machine at the house but never really learned to use it much.

I'd be happy to give you a tutorial on making masks, if you're interested. :) Or anything else, really. I've been sewing for a really long while. Most beginner things I can handle. :)

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

My project has started. Picked up the keys to my new h ouse on Wed, first day of cleaning today. The lockdown has disrupted my big plans but there's a fair bit I want to do to the garden in particular. And finally start home brewing

Well, I've fallen back on a staple. :lol:

Still to go: A7V, KV-2, T-72 M1, Leopard 2A4.  :blush:

And I just realized that I messed up the rear hatch (you shouldn't see the row of studs). Slight disassembly required  :lol: :blush:

I like the photography Syt.

Thanks. Fixed the back end in the meantime.

You must have a pretty big place to have shelves for all these.

Finished the A7V. This was a lot of fun to build. And it's satisfying how the sides fit nicely into place.

I have to change the settings on my cam, this looks weirdly proportioned.

These look great, I wish I had more space but it's already taken up by Star Wars legos  :blush:

Do they have a Mark VII or similar? I could use it for an Indiana Jones diorama  :nerd:

You'd have to add the turret (much like the props department for Last Crusade did).
